What are good sources for cheap-to-fair priced freshwater puffers Monotrete/Tetraodon?

I won't name names but one importer of German fish gave me a quote for $70 for a red congo puffer at 1-2" WHICH IS RIDICULOUS... Last year I almost bought a 6" red congo puffer for $60 at a LFS here in New Jersey but I didn't have a tank available at the time...

However aquascape online (I believe they are a sponsor here?) HAD arrowhead/pignose puffer Monotrete suvatii for $18 that were about 5"...

Anybody know good reputable sources for freshwater puffers of the genus's Monotrete and Tetraodon?

Thanks,

Actually, around here if you can find one, true red Congos go for around $200. I did find one & got it shipped for $50 but that was about 5 years ago & it took me 4 years to find it.
 
I got 2 pea puffers (freshwater) for $2.99 each and both are in a 10 gallon, veyr happy and healthy.
 
I have been look for a congo puffer for 1 and half my self so if you see for 50 or 60 and you want it I would get it
