The Puffer Forum

Hi,

I am trying to source either a Congo puffer, or Baileyii, nearest to South Yorkshire as possible.

Thank you

WELCOME BACK PPG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I live just south of Louth, in Lincolnshire, and my LFS stocks Baileyii, they sourced PIggy for me, and now stock them. They definitely had one in stock the other day. It's Lincs Aquatics, 01507 451000.

Cheers for that, we're going to look at their other location tomorrow, called them and they've got a couple of Baileyii there as well. So hopefully I can talk the husband into letting me have one! Thanks again for your help Stratters.

They are awesome puffers, I'm besotted with Piggy, he's so interactive and entertaining. Fingers crossed for you

I had a Baileyii before. In fact, I had her (I believe it was a her) until we moved about 2 years ago, she died the day after the move and I was really heart broken as I'd had her for quite a while. I haven't seen any for sale, so obviously I would be overjoyed to get another. Problem is, I have just ordered a Congo due to arrive on Thursday. Not sure my husband will let me have another puffer so quickly .... but I shall keep my fingers crossed anyway.

My hubby, pufferghoti, is a puffer pusher. He encourages me to have "just one more little waffer-thin puffer fish"...

I'd say you are one lucky woman!

My Congo arrived this morning dead as a doornail!!!! I am not at all happy, and it arrived very stinky so thinking it hasn't died recently. I am trying to get a refund through today, but strangely haven't heard back from anyone yet. If I get a refund, I am heading out to get myself a Baileyii!!!! I have been waiting for this Congo since early last week, so very bummed at it arriving very dead (and smelly!).

Oh, how AWFUL, poor Congo

Fingers crossed they have a lovely Baileyii in, Piggy is gorgeous.

Awww... poor thing.

Oh how sad for you...I hope you took lots of pictures so they could see that state of your baby..

I hope they don`t try to wriggle out of giving you your money

I am..

Except for tank-cleaning day, which is everyday..I spend a lot of time changing water, cleaning and talking to puffers..It`s a good job I`m a SATPufferParent.

Apparently I am not such a lucky wife .... my husband promised me we'd go and get a Baileyii, but he didn't bother getting up yesterday and hasn't made any effort today, so I'm guessing I am not getting a replacement puffer, even though we ARE getting a refund on the one that was DOA! I am not a happy woman because the Congo was to be a belated anniversary gift from the husband, and of course, I can't enjoy a dead puffer, so was looking forward to getting the Baileyii.

Oh well, that's what I get for getting excited.

Stop feeding him. :O
