This Is Ridiculous

[McCool]

I STILL Haven't found my South American Puffers. If y'all remember me, I've been actively searching for them since the beginning of the year. I was entertaining Figure Eights for a while, but was told to just wait and see if they showed up, since their seasonal. Still no puffs I've had my tank set up for months and months now. Does anyone know of anyone who has them in stock? I'm in the states, so they'd need to be shipped. Looking for 6 of them.
I'm really just hopeless about finding them anymore. Lost complete interest in my tank, Really just don't know what to do.

I actually have four or five websites i check daily, Pet Solutions being one of them. They are always out of stock.

If you havent, try to call or email those breeders/stockers?

Aquariumfish.net has then fore sale. They dont say out of stock

That's unfortunate.

Try asking your LFS if they are willing to put in a special order for you to a breeder or importer
Try checking AquaBids or eBay.


In the meantime, I've got some puffer hunting to do

Aquabid hadn't had any in in the last few months, and my LFS is useless. They always say they'll call about the puffs and I'll never hear anything.
Thanks for the help! Didn't think to check Ebay, but I'll add it to my list!
Let me know if you come across anything!

Whats your zipcode? I found a site where I can track down freshwater fish importers in your area. You could contact them and ask about the puffers

So far, the only viable candidates in the US are Ruinemans Aquarium, Inc., Riverdale Pets, Inc, River Wonders, Rainforest Farms International, PopPopsFish, Ocala Aquariums, Jackson Aquatics, and Denver Tropical Fish Wholesale/ Warehouse

Darn! And we were so close!
