Blow fish or puffer fish?

[Linda Lee]

I have this very old real puffer or blow fish, it was hanging in my grandpas basement for years. I've decided to try and sell on Ebay because my brother didn't want it ,and I really don't want it any more. I figured a real fish inthusiast should have it. Heres a picture, and would any one know if it's a blow fish or puffer fish? Thanks!

OK! Let me try it this way- I'll host it myself, can anyone tell me what kind of fishy this is?

It looks like a puffer to me

In researching puffers I have found that some people call them puffers and some people call them blowfish.. so I dont know that there is really a difference. If someone else knows otherwise.. please inform us

Thanks Amber, I think your right, but wasn't really sure about it. Maybe in Japan they call them blow fish (in japanese) because noticed web sites for Japanese blow fish dishes or recipes.

Yeah. I think it just depends on the site or the person.
