They look absolutely wicked!! I used to have a couple of figure 8 puffs and used to love watching them eat their bloodworm, their bellies get soo huge!

They will grow quite quickly from experience but of course when they reach about an inch then they start growing outwards Wink

yup is frogbit Smile

little puffers are now being fed twice a week with blood worm - rest of the time they're eating the daphnia and snails in the tank

There are some bronze cory fry in there with them at the moment - doing very well been in there for 2 weeks and doing an excellent job of cleaning up the bottom of the tank

will post pics later

I love dps, first of all I had 2 bettas in a split tank then when they died I had dps for a time...I loved their little puppy faces xx

I wasnt very knowledgeable about them. We went away for a weeks holiday and I put one of those vacation blocks in the tank. When we came home the tank was like a fog and there was a VERY annoyed puffer peering out through the cloud!!

^Oh no! Those blocks are terrible aren't they, I think they should be banned for the amount of trouble they cause.

I've never had DP's but they seem really cute Smile I have a Palembang though [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Tetraodon Palembangensis - Dragon/Humpback puffer. He's a lurker, so hides in the bushes until a shrimp swims past Smile

I'll post some pics of Gilbert in a bit, I love him [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
