Dichotomyctere sabahensis is a species of pufferfish endemic to the southeast Asian island of Borneo.[1] This species grows to a standard length of 10.8 cm (4.3 in).[2]
It is also called the giant spotted puffer or the Saba puffer.[3] The juvenile looks much like the spotted green pufferfish (D. nigroviridis), and both can live 15 years in an aquarium. Though the giant green spotted puffer seems to prefer a much lower salinity as an adult. It is safe to keep D. sabahensis at a salinity of 1.004 or half-brackish.
