There are a bunch of arrowheads at the LFS in los angeles, but they might be named something else. Ive even seen them called congo puffers, but with the arrowhead on its head.

Nope, all my lfs gets is gsp's, fig 8's and dwarves..... Once in a very rare while they get red-eyes. That's it as far as freshwater puffers. Thanks for the other aliases though. My palembangensis was sold to me as a red-eye from my lfs...... I don't think they know what they are talking about half the time.... Worked to my advantage with my palembangensis though!!!MarlboroMan said:

Take a look at this:

The owner said that It was the coolest "single" fish he had ever had.
And he have a bunch of tanks and fish. Alot of puffers too.
But of course, he could have been lucky whit his arrow.

Love the video!!!! Makes me want one even more..... My palembangensis is know to be a lurker and he is a very attentive little guy. I think a lot of attention goes a long way as far as their activity level and personalities.....Shark-Baite said:

Think I saw South American puffers on your list that you just released.... Have any info on these including a pic? Any not so common puffers that you come across?! Thanks Miles!!!
The only puffer I get from South America, is the S.A. Puffer! There is one other species, the C. Psittacus, aka Banded Parrot Puffer, but it hasn't been seen in the trade for nearly 20 years. I would LOVE to own one of them, as they get big and nasty like Fahakas but look alot more similiar to the SAP.
The SAP stay small and are quite peaceful. I sold some to the LFS and they have them in with fancy plecos and bala sharks with no problems. There was a great article on SAP somewhere, but I can't find it now.
Since you seem to be a puffer freak, as I was at one time as well (read every thing I could about every puffer there is) .. Check out these websites. But never forget MFK!
Here is an article on SAP:
