The Puffer Forum

Tetraodon pustulatus ,Common Name: Cross River Puffer .

Have not talked much information ? More pictures of adult fish ?

Here in the UK this is a very expensive puffer, and there are only a handful of them in this country. I don't believe there are very many in the United States even. A very beautiful puffer, but with a price tag way too high for me. This is a photo of one that was for sale a little while back and I was emailing the owner, and he sent me these photos.

Rarely available in the US:

Many thanks for your reply. This puffer is also treasured in China, even the very little information on.

Yes, they are very rare. Most of the time when one is advertised and you see a picture, it is really a Fahaka but with some red coloring. Finding them with the true red spots like that is very rare, and they are very expensive.

I would love to have one someday. They're so beautiful.

ah..My dream puffer

The one you mention is the one that's in the photos above that I posted. I was emailing Richard for a while, but it was just too expensive for me in the end. I admit it's beautiful, but I can't justify that kind of money for even a puffer.

My God! God's price!

OH. MY. GOD. he is stunning! if i were in nottingham, or in the UK at all... he would be in my tank no questions asked... 650 euros is roughly $885 US dollars i think... id do it! tax returns are comming up... i couldnt think of a better thing to blow all my money on haha... having a cross river AND my gorgeous fahaka???? oh man that would be amazing....

Just a little note, that's £650 - British pounds, not Euros, although the exchange rate may be similar for both currencies right now.

whoops sorry... thats me for ya, showing off my ignorance... i thought that thing that looks like a fancy "E" meant euros
