I WANT THIS PUFFER! A Cross River Puffer right?

Nah, thats not a cross river, thats the saltwater Mappa Puffer if i'm not mistaken...
 
WHAT???? I will not stop until I have a pair of these for my own. I believer they are some kind of rock fish or seriously deep water fish. How big of a fish tank do I need for a male and female of these beauties?

If you're referring to the pic I posted, yes, it is a mappa puffer I owned.
 
Just a quick question Wes

What temp was your tank at when you had the hifin loach and clowns together?? I have tried this combo a few times and everytime the hifin starts to get unhealthy looking and i have to pull it out. I wish i could get my hands on an absolute monster like yours, its insane how big that guy is!!!

75 degree or so, the key in keeping them highfin shark is constant feeding, they're slow feeders, so you have to use a ton of sinking pellets and blood worm to keep them fat, they're a pain in the arse to keep in my opinion
 
mate, though wes has some ultra rare / one off fishes. a significant amount of what he gets hold of can be got in the UK. seriously I used to stock loads of cool rare fish when I ran a fish room. rays, arowanas of every species, nile perch, tanganikan perch, tiger fish, wolf fish, puffers (fahakas, MBU, sea frogs, red eyes, congo puffers lineatus, Fugu), swamp eels, fire eels spiny eels, freshwaters morays (3 species), chaca chaca catfish, myriad african cichlids. all the polyperterus ( even lepradei, endlicheri) lungfish, leaf fish, loads of big south american pimeloids, gars (spotted, florida and gator). not having a pop at you mate, but it is really easy to import these "unusual" fish into the UK. Try and find a aquatics shop that deals with the trade supplier "neil hardy aquatica" they stock all these species and tons more throughout the year. then you could order them from the shop.
all the best expanding your collection.

sorry for going off topic, wes your collections and knowledge are astounding.

in a bit mate,

G
