rnbo Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Hi there! Does anyone keep dwarf puffers at the moment? Have just setup a special tank 27L with some and was interested in any experiences that people might share.... Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Brazilian puffers aren't supposed to be dwarfs. But, they seem to be pretty slow growing even though they're supposed to get up to around 6". I doubt many survive that long in captivity.

Duke3d Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Yes pics. Want to see pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnbo Posted August 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Pics...havent posted pics before :oops: But will give it a go. Will have to see how photogenic they are!! lol The little puffs have settled in fine and are giving the snails a hiding. Have eaten the occasional bloodworm and whiteworm. Obviously snails are the preferred tucker. Bad luck snails... I'm so taken with them, they always like to know whats going on and seem to come up to the glass when they hear and see me...real cuties!! Certainly very pleased that I've got them.
