wtb fahaka

Post by predator24079 »

So after "puffer" sitting my friends 10 in fahaka for the past year and a half while he was working out of state i decided i miss him so much its time to get my own. i've only had a lot of experience with that particular puffer who was 8" when i got him and 10 1/4" when my friend took him back but have kept lots of different fish over the years and really would like to start with a smaller fish to grow out myself. my question is does anyone know where i can find one or maybe its the wrong season all together. i would prefer a fish 5 inches or less and am interested in fahakas as well as cross river puffers (t. pustulatus). i'm located in CT so the lfs scene is weak sauce at best and i cant seem to find much on the internet. willing to pay top dollar and whatever shipping costs may be, just desperate to get one of these awesome pets for myself. any advice or information greatly appreciated thanks in advance- Dustin
