sorry for such a newbie question but do you have a species gallery for fresh water puffer?
i have a ten gallon that i d like to maybe put a puffer in it, but i dont want a dwarf puffer cause they seem to common.
id like something a bit more rare but id like to check em out first

I think you'd be a bit stuck in that case. You could go brackish and have one F8, but don't you dare call them common!!!!!!

Ten gallon is a bit small for anything but a DP. Perhaps you could get a F8 living in there for a while, but he would need 20g eventually.

Yea those fish are very hard to find. I tried in vane to find a Red Eye puffer
Your best bet is to find local fish stores that will special order and check stock. Also beware most of the time puffers are named incorrectly so beware of that.
