Need help finding dwarf puffer in NJ

Post by Lizzybxi »

Hi, I am wanting to start a 10g dwarf puffer tank. I was looking online and all the sellers are NOT captive-bred which is why I wont order from them. The only captive bred I could find hasn't been in stock for a while now. I was wondering if there is anyone selling in central jersey.. I only want 1.....for now :D. I was going to order from aquaticcarts.com but I'd be willing to buy online if there captive bred so leave a link.

Fery few DPs are actually captive bred. I know Petsmart had a breeding program for them but that was many years ago. Even wild DPs are tough to find now, as most puffer species are seasonal.

I would also add that DPs prefer to live in groups of 5-6 or more.
