They are virtually non-existant in the trade.

If you do find one, you're going to have to mortgage your home.

well i've found a guy who sells them over myspace, and he got the mbu, fahaka, congo, and the tetraodon pustulatus available in stock. to me they looks pretty much like the fahaka puffer except their tails are not as pretty and long as the fahaka puffer.

Can we see pictures? How much is he charging? I fear they are just lineatus rather than true pustulatus.

Hmm i didn't realize there was a average price on for them as they are so rare.

There are many people out there that actually believe they have a young pustalatus. Indeed the pictures, whilst young do bare some similarity but their failure to post more recent pictures leads me to believe that they were indeed lineatus.

LOL! Any importer/distributor who turns up a rare fish is going to start the pricing in the hundreds. There is no "set" or standard price for such critters, but any that do turn up do sell for non-trivial amounts. Collector and on-a-budget are incompatible concepts for living creatures.
