Are ceylons hard to find? I was doing a little research and it seems they aren't well known, or are mistaken for F8's?

I haven't seen them very often. A few times I have found them mixed in with & labeled as F8s.

Over here you generally don't see any puffers at an aquarium store or petstore, but a lot of the species are available on order. Usually takes a few days if they are in stock at the suppliers.

The 2 petstores I buy my live fish from "might" be able to order me one, although they do frequently get puffers in and have them in stock, I might be able to either luck out and find one, or like I said have them order one for me.

Would a Ceylon or additional GPS be the better bet if I decide to go that route, I do know a bigger tank would be required.

Reason I am constantly on this subject is because my Fiance is so stuck on adding an additional mate to the tank, sometimes telling him no it's not going to work just doesn't work because he doesn't seem to understand the personality of a fish.
