Wowtcg.com has the (first?) preview of the Purple Puffer pet!
From the screenshots, this companion looks like it will be quite large. And oddly enough, it remains in its bubble even when underwater lol. Silly fish, you can swim! Perhaps it suffers from mysophobia (fear of germs)? :P
Note: The Wowtcg page states that this pet is Bind on Equip, but Wowhead and MMO-Champion's database is listing it as Bind on Pick Up. It's unclear which is true, but in the past most TCG companions have been Bind on Pick Up. With the changes Blizzard is making to pets and especially PetStore and TCG redeemable ones, it's tough to say and we probably won't find out for sure until Patch 4.3 is released.
I can't wait to see this FIRST aquatic pet on live servers!

Purple Puffer - Not So Fast
UPDATE: A blue poster confirms that Throne of the Tides loot won't be available until patch 4.3.
I haven't been following the TCG trend for as long as others, so I'm wondering if this is the first time where the loot cards were released before the in-game content was ready to go live.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't slightly bothered or disappointed by this delay, but part of me does understand that the next patch does introduce quite a bit of content and Blizzard developers are working hard on delivering many new and updated features.
Still... it's rather poor planning imho. Not only does it somewhat sour the release of the pet, it doesn't exactly do wonders for those selling the cards. What a downer to have to advertise, 'Get your new pet right here! Step right up! Oh, but btw.. you can't actually claim your pet yet...'
Oh well. I guess that's just the nature of these things. Sometimes it works out perfectly, while other times.. not so much. In the end I'm willing to wait for my fish pet... as long as the wait is reasonable and for a logical reason, of course.
"The items awarded from the latest TCG loot cards will be added to the game with the release of patch 4.3, so they can't be redeemed before the items exist." - ZarhymUnless I'm mistaken, it sounds as if we won't be able to redeem those Purple Puffer loot codes any time soon. We'll have to wait for patch 4.3 before we can add this fish to pet collections.

4.3 PTR - TCG Pets
Too much new pet news in one day/night? Psh, never! :P
Anyway, the PTR version of Landro is definitely giving up his secrets for the future TCG loots! Unfortunately, I can't preview the actual pets in-game yet. But just as a teaser, the "Throne of the Tides" common loot card is the Purple Puffer (originally thought to be Bloat the Bubble Fish, but that could just be the actual card name and not the in-game pet name). Next is the "Crown of the Heavens" common loot card, the Gregarious Grell. And last but not least, the "Tomb of the Forgotten" common loot card, the Sand Scarab.
While this is all very enticing and exciting news, things could change since it's usually at least a month or two between the release of new TCG expansion decks.
Check out the screenshots behind the jump for the full list of possible loot from the upcoming decks!

Analyzing 4.3 Datamined Pets
Alright now that the initial news of 14 possible pets is out, let's go into some detail about some of these new pets. Some of this will be speculation and until confirmed otherwise, your guess is as good as mine!

A Wish for a Fish
As expected, WoWTCG Loot now has the official card of Bloat the Bubble Fish up for preview! They will probably announce their usual presale soon (normally a joint affair with WarcraftPets), so keep an eye out for that!
I'm really anxious to find out more about this fishy pet; what it's idle animations are, sounds (if any), and how it will interact with varying environments. Does a fish need to be in a bubble even if you go underwater with it? Wouldn't that be a bit.. redundant? :P lol.
Super excited about this new, unique, and common TCG loot card companion!

Imminent Win
Zarhym, a blue poster, recently stated that the 4.3 PTR should be available within the next week. Things could change but I'm extremely hopeful and excited. I can't wait to check out the revamped Darkmoon Faire and hear about any possible datamined pets from MMO-Champion and Wowhead. Even if there are only just a few new pets in 4.3, it's better than nothing at all.
Speaking of better than nothing at all, I may have stumbled on what Bloat the Bubble Fish might look like. WoWTCG's Facebook posted pictures from the recent Throne of the Tides sneak preview and competition event that was held in Irvine, CA.
One picture in particular caught my eye, a shot of some of the cards found within the next expansion deck. If you look closely at the card on the far right (in a clear plastic sleeve), it looks like a loot card. I can't make out the name of the card, but it definitely looks like a "fish in a bubble" to me! We'll probably see an actual preview of the card and the companion pet soon, but this teaser just adds to my anticipation.
This coming week holds a lot of promise for pet news; I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Throne of the Tides Release Date
Looking forward to October? Well you should be! Not only is there Blizzcon and Hallow's End, the next TCG expansion deck is coming. October 11th is the official release date, and wowtcgloot.com has announced they will be doing another loot card presale. They've also confirmed that the upcoming deck's common loot card will be Bloat the Bubble Fish. :D
There's a little less than a month before the release of Throne of the Tides, but hopefully we'll get a teaser of Bloat either from the PTR or an official Blizzard preview. It's been a while since Blizzard's kept us in the dark for such a long time. I can't wait to find out what this pet's idle animation is (if any at all)!

Throne of the Tides - Sneak Peak
As mentioned in early August, the next TCG expansion deck will be Throne of the Tides. What wasn't mentioned was what the next common pet loot card would be. There is speculation that it will be a "fish in a bubble", but there hasn't been much in the way of details or even an official name for this possible pet.
Well I may have found more information on that!
I can't confirm the pet 100% yet, but wowtcg.com is having a Throne of the Tides sneak peak event and tournament. They've listed the loot card prizes as follows:
As exciting as this prospect is, keep in mind that things could change and we may not get a "fish in a bubble" pet afterall. Regardless, I'm still excited and anxious to find out more about the next TCG common loot card!

5 Wins: 4 Throne of the Tides booster packs, 1 Wasteland Tallstrider Loot cardThe first loot card sounds like the Tallstrider mount that was rumored to be coming soon. The second loot card seems like the misc "fun" loot card. And last but not least, Bloat the Bubble Fish sounds like a fish in a bubble to me. If this isn't an indicator of what the next TCG companion will be, I'm not sure what is! I'm hoping to see a datamined version of this pet once 4.3 hits the PTRs. :D
4 Wins: 3 Throne of the Tides booster packs, 1 Throwing Starfish Loot card
3 Wins: 2 Throne of the Tides booster packs, 1 Bloat the Bubble Fish Loot card
As exciting as this prospect is, keep in mind that things could change and we may not get a "fish in a bubble" pet afterall. Regardless, I'm still excited and anxious to find out more about the next TCG common loot card!
