1st Time Puffer Keeping

[Koji]

It's my first time keeping this fish. And I would appreciate as much info from the season keepers here.

What size tank is that? And are those GSP's?

Aesthetically it looks really nice.

I'll let Pufferpunk give you the info

those are dwarf puffers and are completely FW, you should really give them more cover, they love lots of plants to play in, as well a much larger tank so they can establish their own territories or get rid of all but a couple(depending on size of tank) i see at least one male in there and the rest appear to be either too young to sex or females, hopefully females because you want several females to every male if you are going to try to keep them in groups.

Cool Dwarf Puffers!

very cool, i miss my little guy, one of the most interactive fish i've ever had(the others being my f8 puffers)

 

[dcfdtruck7]

nice puffers

I would defenitly make your tank an underwater forest. but the dwarfs are really cool.
what size tank is that. i think its 2-3 gallons per puffer. Good Luck!!!

1DP/3-5g actually. That tank is way overstocked & definately underdecorated/planted for enough territories. 1 male to 3 females.
Sexing DPs

And why is this in the BW forum? You're not putting salt in there, are you? That's how I killed my 1st 2 DPs.

Now I'm confused... The person who is selling these told me that they require salt in their keeping and these aint DP but figure 8 puffers...
