Carinotetraodon salivator is a small red-eyed puffer known only from Sarawak, Borneo, in the Lupar, Sarawak and Rajang river systems. Sometimes traded as the 'striped redeye puffer' or 'zebra puffer', it has distinct dark bars on the head and body in both sexes, a colour pattern unique within the genus. Unlike most congeners, there is evidence that it prefers flowing water.
