has anyone ever kept one of these? I'm close to upgrading my gsps to a 55g full marine and this would fit in my 30g brackish.

i was searching through here and i saw that one guy had one a few years back in BW. I thought i saw some more recent pics of one in here though, like three months or less. I couldn't find it though.

I might be gifting my GSPs to a friend and making the 55g a new home for my arrowhead and maybe getting a second one to be in there with him. So my thirty might be coming available very soon. PP are these really that rare of a puffer?

I wouldn't believe anything you read at Puffernet. It is known for bad info.

What a cutie! Good luck with your new Puffer, not much is known about this species.

Hello Martin,

http://www.reptilien-zierfische.de seems to have them (confirming per phone call would be a good idea). The company is in the Czech republic, but delivers to Germany as far as I know for a minimum order of 75 Euros. I have never ordered from them, though.
