The red-tailed redeye puffer, Carinotetraodon irrubesco, is a small freshwater puffer endemic to Indonesia, known from Sumatra and West Kalimantan. Males have a reddish caudal fin and lack the black spot at the dorsal-fin base seen in the other red-eyed puffers, and the eyes bulge clearly above the head. It has been collected only among submerged riparian vegetation of terrestrial origin, in murky brown water.
