I could tell you sooooo many sad stories in my close to 40 years in this hobby... :(
I did my best to comply with the forum rules regarding the submission of individual shopping experience, and am open to removing the names of the companies involved should PufferPunk think it prudent.
You're good. ;) Those puffers owe you their lives, for sure!

The issue with buying online is finding a reputable dealer. I have three sources for my livestock and do not waver from them, one I actually drive 90 min to go pick stuff up from. There are good places out there but you just have to find them.

Toyin is the best for FW puffers.

While not a direct response to Pufferpunk, I just want to "officially" mark this thread as "Closed; Issue Resolved".

OT: It would be nice to have a facility for attribution of Karma in a manner similar to Reddit and an Issue Resolution/Response Legitimacy voting mechanism like that of the StackExchange network. Yes, I understand the development implications. ;)

My sincere thanks, and that of my puffers as well, to all who lent their knowledge and experience toward the resolution of this issue. :)

Sounds great! Please keep us informed of your puffers no matter how quirky they may be! A picture or two does not hurt either! :D

I will close this for you.
