I went and checked out another local (well 45 min. away) fish store, today...on my way back from dropping off my sold 55gal. tank.
Just to look at what they had, I asked one of the guys if they had Dog Faced Puffers. He was like..."Oh yeah! We just got in the most beautiful ones I've ever seen!!"...
He shows me the tanks they're in, and what do I find...4 Stars and Stripes Puffers, labeled Dog Faced Puffers. So, I said..."I'm not trying to say you guys are wrong, or that I know more than you do, but these arent Dog Faced Puffers (they looked NOTHING like Dog Faced - even juvies)". And he gets mad and starts ranting about how he knows his fish, blah, blah, blah. I've been dealing with Puffers for a long time and I was 100% positive that those werent Dog Faced. lol Not only that, but the listed price for the so called 4" juvenile Dog Faced was $119. I almost crapped.
Needless to say, I wont be buying any fish from that store. They also had a 1.5' long Porc. Puffer in a 125gal. tank (way to small for the poor guy) that was listed for $1000. Are these people serious?
Just thought I'd share.
