Does anyone keep these little guys? I am considering buying a couple. I know size wise they don't really qualify as monsters, but from what i've read they are extremely aggressive. If anyone has any info, advice, photos, etc, it would be greatly appreciated.

I have 2 in a 10 gal. tank. They aren't extremely aggressive, but are fin nippers. They should be kept species only. Make sure that your tank is pretty heavily planted.
Lots of good info on www.dwarfpuffers.com :)

They are cute little tinkers aren't they? eating everyone's fins! super fun to keep though, and breed-able!
They are freshwater. I wouldn't keep them in a tank with other fish, as they are little fin nippers. If you keep them with each other, make sure you have a lot of plants or something to break up line of site in the tank, so they can hide from each other.
