Ok well now i have a 29 gall tank set up with sand substrate and is cycling quickley so i was thinking about looking for a congo puffer.

first i was wondering how rare they are in the red and orange colors? the rest of the tank is a natural theme i guess youd say so i want something bright to stand out.

second is there anyone in the socal area that knows somewere that sells them.

thanks

It was about 5 years ago but I bought the one in my avatar from this guy (found him on Aquabid):
oluwatoyinojo@yahoo.com
I believe he's still in business.

Doesnt matter who and where their supplier is. That supplier get his puffer from somewhere else too but he got excellent selection of plants. All healthy and green.
