If so all the fish listed above that aren't puffers will need new homes!

You ARE aware that you'll be spending a mortgage payment on this guy...right?

I can give you a very reliable source, but he's in Hawaii: http://www.aquaticimportshawaii.com/

He and I spoke about your genus of puffer a month ago, and it's still there. Good luck, show us some pics if your get this gorgeous beast!

I am aware! I just love the looks of the fish. Love my fahaka. They are the nearest relative. I'd love to give him 200 gallons to play with. You have any idea what they are asking for them? I've emailed with no reply yet.

These people are very up front and ONLY deal In premium rares. They took a bit to get back to me at first as well. I spoke to Leighton @ Aquatic Imports Hawaii. The email I sent went to, and was replied from this Email address: webmaster@aquaticimportshawaii.com.

I hope this helps, I'm really rooting for you!!! TBH I never asked about price, my journey is seeking Irrubesco or Lorteti, so seeing someone get their Holey grail puffer fish may give me hope to not give up myself! These people have two super rare puffs, yours and darned if i can remember the other, Im sure they will be happy to send you a one of a kind picture and only deal In trackable tender! Keep us posted!

Thanks very much guys! The puffer was gone when I spoke to a gentleman a couple weeks ago. They are looking and going to get back to me.

I know the season is ending for African puffers, but trying to give this a bump. I lose sleep at night chasing a dream about them! Haha thanks everyone!
