The Puffer Forum

So again I am on the hunt for more puffers specifically the Carinotetraodon borneensis. I was wondering if anyone knew where to get one in the US??

Well, I don't know where abouts you are - but I know that my LFS told me that any fish I wanted they could order. This is when I questioned them about Dwarf Puffers... Of course, a month later, I hadn't requested and they took it upon themselves to order a Fahaka... Which I inadvertently fell in love with.

Lucky find ... could you give me the name of your LFS?? Thankx

Good luck with a Borneensis. I have a male, but they are very difficult to find. I've only seen them twice in the past couple of years, and they can be a bit pricey as well. But you never know, you might find one without the LFS knowing what they have.

Good luck.

Most puffers in my area need to be special ordered by a LFS.

My local pet store is Exotic Aquatics and Pets. I think it's just a locally owned thing, they order online. Even when i told them I wanted snails they popped over to the computer and opened up an order form.... although, 2 weeks and no snails yet... must be difficult!

White's Tree Frogs are my favorite frog!!!
