I am just starting to set up a DP tank, but I think you can find lots of info here (http://www.dwarfpuffers.com).

I have got myself two dwarf puffers Carinotetraodon travancoricus. They are great little fish, too small for my camera to focus on but chasing my 3" Apistos around the tank. There under a centermeter, full of beans come to the glass everytime I walk near the tank.
Fantastic fish. I am now a huge fan of Puffers.

I know what you mean!!! Once you own one they really grown on you. Mine watches everything I do.
try bigger puffers, they are even more interesting!

Did you decide that from "pufferlist" site? I do like the red-eyes..... That's what I thought mine was at first. They are cool to cause they aren't as common (at least at my lfs). They were suppose to have a shipment of them come in the 20th...... So I went the 20th and they made a mistake, it was the 30th..... So I went on the 30th and weren't there...... Called the next day and now they are not getting them at all. Was really bummed out. Curious to see if they are really red-eyes or a palembangensis. Especially since they told me the ones that were to come in were going to be $6.99 and I've seen my puffer online for $50.00. I bought mine for $8. Sweet deal!!!!!

Just read what I wrote and that sounds like one BIG bunch of gibberish.....
synopsis:
They thought my puffer was a red-eye so I got him for $8. He is a palembangensis which I've seen for $50. They were suppose to get more of these supposed "red-eyes" but they never came so I am bummed......
Much better.
Going to bed early tonight.....
