Bit further than 30 miles, but Aquajardin in Fairoak (Southampton) had at least three on Sunday!
They do have stores in Newent and Haresfield, much closer to you, which they might be able to arrange transfer to? These SAPs are the last remaining few from a batch that arrived in Fairoak round about late September, so they are pretty well settled after the long distance travelling they did.

Thanks for the top tip. Typically i've now got a white spot problem and i've had to have a major emergency move round, so the tank the puffers would go in is now looking so "busy" There's not even room for food let alone SAP's.
At the moment i've got 20 guppy's having a lovely time swimming in the current. With my SAP. Who's loving the company. At the moment.
puffers are really prone to WS due to their skin type. so keep a close eye see him rubbing on things if he show symptoms isolate and treat asap.
and also your guppy's keep you puffer fed gppd as to keep his hunger supressed they are oppertunists, you may have to travel a bit further to get your other sap puffers, i know that wenvoe maidenhead aquatics (in cardiff) and in cwmbran (newport) had about 20 SAPS each instock rarely run out and if they do will reserve them for you for 2 weeks, you can call and reserve but will only hold phone orders for a few hours.
