Isn't that the truth! My LSF has 2 T. suvattii that are doing well together, a nice young fahka, and a bunch of the smallest, cutest F8s I've ever seen. If I didn't already have tanks everywhere, I'd buy up the lot!
(They also have a nice crop of GSPs, DPs, and a pretty congo... and that's just the fresh/brackish puffers! All this temptation is pushing my self control to the limits!)
Good luck Woland! Be sure to share some pictures with us.

Paycheck showed itself illusive.

Oh man, ain't he the ugliest creature on the planet.
Tried to take a decent picture, but he plays hard to get...
Physical description:
Approx 5".
Bluish grey as overall colour.
Smallish red eyes.
Small orange spots here and there.
Not much "hair".
Very active at the time, but that might be stress...
Although; seems to enjoy the rather strong current in his 42 gallon tank.

He's not ugly. Can't wait to see him in his tank, in all his glory.
Pami.

I wonder if he'll grow more "hair" as he gets older?

I got one from my LFS a couple of days back. Took me sometime to ID it.
They are truly FW puffers right?

Yes. Riverfish according to Fishbase.
Nice looking specimen!

I just (half an hour ago) saw two hairy puffers. $45 USD each! Is that a good price to buy? Both of them are slightly over 2" long including tail.
Looks very healthy. These are the times I wished I had a camera phone...
Btw, me living in Singapore.

I am from Singapore too.

Cichlid Forever. I am not going to buy, was just wondering if the price is fair. They are quite healthy except for a few little dots on their fins which I suspect is ich. Very cute. My husband will not let me buy 'cos I already have 3 ceylon puffers and a fahaka.
