Since I already own quite a few, right now there's only two that I want:
Abei puffer and Schoutedeni puffer. I probably won't find the 2nd one, but still have hopes of finding the Abei.

The Schoutedeni Puffer? Never even heard of it.
Thanks for giving me something to research. I'm bored. Haha

I have to admit, porcupine puffers are very endearing and I found myself staring and smiling at the one we seen a few weeks ago. It was so cute, I'd love to have that little face swimming around watching me. If it wasn't a marine fish I'd have one. Just can't go there.

Strangely enough, I got one of my "dream puffers" today ( Abei puffer), didn't even know it was there!
Sometimes good things happen when you're not even prepared!

Woohoo!
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Has been and always will be an Mbu. I will own one, one day.
A schoutedeni, looks very similar to a GSP except its not. Rare in the trade.

Oh, is it called something like a giant puffer or something? Someone had one and thought it was a gsp, they have a more narrow head, right?

No its not a big puffer. Giant puffer names are always put on trade lists when they get any puffer that is bigger than the smaller species and they have no clue what it is. Corvus would be the man to as on differences. What I do remember is it has been a very long time for schoutedeni to be seen in the trade but that was a while back things might have changed since then.
