Electric Blue Jack Dempseys are pretty hard to find in the city. I don't see them often. I think I have seen them at PJ's and at Paradise Pets. They are not cheap though.

I bought one from Red Deer Petland. He was about one and half inch long. Now he is probably around 7.5-8 inches. Very mellow. Here is a picture of him. There was a mishap when he was little (puffer bit his dorsal fin all the way to the tissue) and his dorsal fin has been permanently damaged.

You can also try Big Al's I've seen them there once before.

Pure freshwater. The puffer m. turgidus was also a pure fw puffer that bit his dorsal fin when he was little. Just make sure you get it from a reputable dealer. This is one of the Rapp's order the Petland made a while back.

Ask BA where they get their stock and research. There are a lot of bad batches out there due to inbreeding and such.
