dwarf puffer growth ?

[bethie_dawn]

I got two dwarf puffers on v-day and was woundering how fast they grow. They are just so tiny right now. I have two in my 10 gallon and plan to add some ottos and maybe one more puffer. Does that sound like it would be overstocking? How many ottos would you add I always hae a slight algee problem in this tank?

Thanks so much

i had 3 in a 10 with like 7 neons and 5 otos. i had nice filtration though. I heard 1 oto per 10 gallon but i had 4 that came outta my 46 gal that i put in there with him. I had trouble getting the puffers to eat. so its def not overstocking.

I had some about a year ago and they grew to adult size in probably 6 months eating live brine, frozen brine and blood worms....they love frozen blood worms! Due to not noting my baby catfishes' eating habits I lost my first four. Now I have four more and am keeping them in a planted ten gallon.
One of the recent Tropical Fish Hobbyist magazines had an article on them btw.
I feed mine twice a day with frozen food and once they are growing and well acclimated they will start eating anything.
