I wonder when they will become so commonplace that they will no longer fetch a $1500 price tag but something closer in price to a regular arrowhead?

Even though I like this albino variant, I don't think I would pay $1500 for tank decor, lol. Now if it was an albino hairy puffer... then I might be tempted. They are much more outgoing and social for me.

I'm gonna need you to stop hyping up the hairy puffer. For weeks I've been fighting the temptation to go buy a new tank AND spend $140 plus shipping to buy a hairy puffer from the wet spot lol

One of my all time favorite fish is the hairy puffer, but now that list also includes the red wolf fish.
