where can i buy an arrowhead puffer

Post by vietkong »

i just had a mishap with my arrowhead puffer and i need a replacement. of course there is no replacement for the one i lost he had such a great personality. but i bought him from aquarium fish.net fairly inexpensive maybe in febuary at 2.5 inch. now they have a 3.5 inch for 65 anywhere else have smaller ones for less.

Sorry for your loss... :( What happened?

If you're willing to pay shipping, I got my red miurus (in my avatar) from this guy: oluwatoyinojo@yahoo.com

How are you keeping that tank cycled?

Pufferpunk if you don't mind me asking. How much does a Puffer like the one in your avatar go for? Does that person you got yours from have different kinds of Puffers too? I am looking to setup a new tank in Spring and am trying to plan everything out :) Just want to do a lot of research before I actually dive into it ya know.

Yep, he's got lots of different puffers--depending on seasonal availability. He's posted in our Classifieds before. I don't remember for sure what the price of Punkster was at 1" but I remember something about $50.

I emailed him borgey. I can forward you the list if I hear back. We are very casually looking for a new puffer.
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

That would be so awesome Flutter. Just PM me if you get a reply. I am in no rush myself either. I would like to aim for getting setup by next Spring but if I don't it's no big deal. I am either setting up a 75 gallon or a 55 gallon. Most likely the 75. I would absolutely LOVE a Fahaka but just do not have the room :( I think they are such beautiful fish

aquariumfish.net might still have their orange Congo in stock. Check them and see?

Wow they've actually got a pretty good selection. I think I might get one from there. Not too sure what one tho. Any suggestions for say a 55 gallon tank?
