Where to find Brown Puffer?
I'm looking for a Brown Puffer (Monotrete turgidus) for my fiance, but I'm having a heck of a time finding one. Anyone know a good place to look?

Re: Where to find Brown Puffer?
Fishinabowl recently shut down their online store. They're saying that they are concentrating on breeding, but can still be found on Aquabid.
Totally forgot about Aquabid! Unfortunately, no brown puffs at the moment. The search continues...

Re: Where to find Brown Puffer?
I think you're right, that 'common red eye puffer' looks a lot like a brown puffer. If it ain't, it's awful close to one. I think someone might be getting the gift of pufferfish for valentine's day.

Re: Where to find Brown Puffer?
Close enough for one of the target species. The "common" puffer is usually the cutcutia. Ask them for a pic of the exact puffer they'd be sending you.
