The Puffer Forum

actually the same day i bought him i was at another LFS and they had a smaller one for 150.00 So i knew right away that i had either bought an expensive fish cheap, or narrowly avoided buying a cheap fish for a very high price.

I love those lucky breaks.

Haha me too. My congo will be here on the 3rd of january, which is my birthday. He cost me 40.00 but i had to pay shipping so 80.00 altogether. thatpetplace.com is where i ordered from. I only have a 55 gallon tank because im in an apt in san diego and there is no room. But once i get out of the military and move back home to indiana im buying some acrylic and making probably a 750 gallon or bigger.

Sounds really cool. Maybe the congo will be red.

yeah i dont really care what color. Don't they change color anyway

Yes I believe they can. All I know is they look so serious. I think it is cute!

If you really wanted an arrow then you shold wait for one. You might not want the Congo either. Personally, I think the hairy puffer is the coolest & rarest of the 3.

The LFS has two now and each are 150.00. I really like the fact that the congo buries himself and also is not very active.

Dollars??? You've got to be kidding! I paid $50 for my bright red Congo.

lol no no....the congo was 39.99 but with shipping it is 79.00. the 150 is for the hairy puffer.

WOW. shipping really doubles the amount. MAN, if they have to ship it to aisa, i bet it cost more.You guys recieve the shipped fish right at your doorstep?? or do you have to collect it from your local postoffice?? Is there any laws on regulation on shipping in fishes?

haha sorry! real puzzled abt these shipping stuffs. I'm planning on gettin in BURRFISH! MAN, whose's not addicted to them.

If fish is not shipped to my store I have to get it from the airport about 45 minutes away. And they are NEVER on time!

Dang that is a pretty long drive. They delivered right to my doorstep and left the package there. Was only out there for about 20 min before i noticed it.

i had to chase my postman down. It waas summer & he was riding around with my red Congo in his hot truck!

Yuck. roasting congo. maybe tt's why its so red.

IF the fish is ordered over the net. they would ship it here and the postman deliever it to the doorstep?? No laws? haha I damm paranoid, the law enforcer here's pretty tight.

oh, puff_love, hows your congo settling in?? hiding in the substrate already?
