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!!!!!! :wink:

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.
