Maybe, but I'd lean toward the laws of supply and demand. LFS' (and WalMart) have been importing puffers for sale to the general masses. Most of them die quickly due to inexperienced fish keepers and the demand goes down as a result. No demand, no imports.

In some ways I'm glad to see that they are not as common in LFS' as they used to be.
