Hi all!
After about a week or so researching and a lot of help from folks here, I finally brought home my first puffers! I originally planned to only get one but the nice lady at my LFS gave me two for free since I gave them my SDs/Red Hook. They're settling in nicely on my 55 gallon tank. I noticed one has a lighter coloring than the other, which makes me wonder if they're both Figure 8 lol. Below are some pics I thought I'd share
Puffer 1
Puffer 2 (Very light markings...not sure if that's just his/her stress colors. Or maybe it's not an F8?)
Has anyone had any luck keeping two of these little guys together? I haven't really noticed any nipping, except when they were feeding on bloodworms. But then again it's only been a few hours. Hoping to start breeding my own snails when I get my ramshorn delivered this week. Thanks again for all the guidance!
