Thats the boyo i was looking at, or possibly one of the spotted
pufferfish.


The colomesus are just too damn cute. I was going to get a couple from my
LFS, but the whole lot died of white spot before I could even purchase
them!


Just don't put them in with angelfish as their long fins won't last long.



Yep, had sussed out the "long fins attract puffer nips" bit :-)

I am planning to put him in a 190 litre trigon (corner) tank when we get
it.


All on his own?

Not sure yet, not done enough research into whether i could get away with a
pair or more and not yet decided whatelse we might put in the-)

You can have a whole tank full of colomesus asellus. That said, they
turn predatory at around 5 years and annihilate anything in sight.
