Post by Showtime »

Anyone know where I can find a Ceylon Puffer? Have a 40 gallon waiting but have yet to come across one.

Very hard to find a ceylon.

But while you look through the internet also look for Green spotted puffers, figure 8's, Giant Green spotted puffers and sabahensis puffers for sale. Often when a ceylon is mis-identified it is called one of these names.

Search for F8s too. Our LFS always mislabels them.
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.

My LFS just had one mislabeled as a F8. I went home setup a tank and cycled it with media from another tank. Went back and HE WAS GONE!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
