Where are all the cool puffers in the trade?

[yama]

Lately I have been searching for mbu puffers, humpback puffers,and hairy puffers. All the local fish store I have visited in my area can't seem to find them. I realize most or all puffers are wild caught. Are the wild populations being depleted? Please help me to find a vendor that will ship to Nashville. Btw I really want to purchase an mbu 6-8inches. Do these puffers have a certain time that they are more readily available? Please help.

Can't help you on availability... but just thought i would let you know an MBU will require an 800G+ tank once mature just incase you didn't know... if you did... then forget that i posted this

Thax Fat one. Yes I did realize. I have a 600 gal indoor pond to start him out in.

Have you checked out a crossriver puffer? I have been looking for one for a long time and can never find one.

I looked for 4 years for an affordable RED miurus (LFS wanted $200!). I finally found one at Aquabid for $50.
