[Fish Finder]

The blue puffer if extreamly rare. I have only seen one in all the yeat's ive been keeping sw (about 12 years) I have not been able to even find any info on the net. There is a store in NJ that is quite pricy and they get in about 1 every 2 year's.

[Fish Finder]

1" to 1 1/2" speciman sells for $125 a 3" sells for$300.

Sydney aquarium has a yellow port Jackson shark name Mango. He is about one in a million. Heterodontus quoyi may not be rare, but I am trying to buy one, and have yat to find a source.
