PYRU and I both got our Suvattii from Wet Spot but they dont have any Abei at the moment.

Exoticfishshop says they have Abei

Thanks! I wish I could get them both from the same supplier to save on $hipping.

Im spoiled having Wet Spot so close it was only $29 to next day it to me from Oregon to Washington state.

With Exoticfishshop if I remember correctly the shipping cost was super reasonable and they guarantee live delivery even if 2 day. Their rates were not outrageous at all. I was going to order a fish under 4” and the shipping was only $11.99. Turned out the fish was sick and they didn’t feel comfortable shipping out and they canceled and refunded the order but I did appreciate the good communication and customer service from them.

If I was just going to order 1 puffer, I'd start with the suvattii, because I have an empty tank all ready for it. For the abei, I have to move around a lot of fish.

I got one of my schoutedeni from exoticfishshop on ebay (not sure if it's the same store as the link above. )The puffer arrived healthy and communication was great.

@Pufferpunk, Well exotic now has both your puffers.

The Suvattii mislabeled as a 'Dragon' but reasonable priced...

A friend recommended them so I put in an order. The fish had an eye issue and Exoticfishshop let me know they were not comfortable shipping it out and offered a refund. They haven’t had the fish back in stock since. Overall was happy with their communication and shipping costs but in reality never did get a fish from them.

So the suvattii is HUGE! Full-grown 5" adult. Unfortunately, the abei is a turgidus. He's refunding me the $$$ I spent on it, so I'l be offering him up soon. He's looking for a true abei, I sent him a pic.

Too bad about the abei... but awesome about the Suvattii.

How did the order look when it came in?
I heard from my buddy who ordered from them and recommended them to me that they do pack the fish up nicely.

Packed extremely well but 1 pleco looked poorly from the get-go & died an hour later. He'll send me another one. I'm not sure he'll ever be able to get a proper ID for an abei from his suppliers though.

Sorry to hear about the pleco.

That is one thing I dont like is in regard the whole ID or how they are even identified. Like the Suvattii you got being called a ‘dragon’... wow that really complicates things as to puffer identifications. I found the same issues with the way the bichirs are listed. Really that would be my only real complaint at this point.
