Hairy Puffer

Post by Liv_M »

Where does one buy a Hairy Puffer? Is ordering one Online the best idea? I haven´t seen any for sale, or in stores. I live in the US. Also, are they brackish or fresh? I read that the river theyre from is sometimes brackish and sometimes completely fresh

Ive owned two and both came from Wet Spot in Portland Oregon. The first I ordered online and had shipped. I sent an email asking for the “hairiest” one they had. It was a nice hairy one. After 8 years or so I lost that puff in death and I knew I wanted another. This time around I drove to Wet Spot since its only about 2 1/2 hr drive away. They had two in store, one was almost bald and the other quite hairy so thats the one I picked. Thats the only thing about ordering online, you hope they they have the fish you want…
