I recently mentioned in another thread that I would post some pics of my dwarf puffers if I got around to it...Guess that turn is here.
Here's just one...I'm working on the others.
Great pic. I can't wait til I pick up my little guys.

the pics are nice and I would love to expand but with my 55g and that Blue Atlantic Tang I think my tank is full. Flash zip around that tank at feeding time as if he's flying through the air.

Do you have an Adult Ceylon, PufferNewbie?.
The two I have are around 1 1/2 inch to 2 inch long(Names Pheonix and Ixiom). Ive found them to be superb puffers even though i know they are still young.
Pheonix and Ixiom are exeptionally social, one male and one female and never fight. They spend all thier time together although when startled the one I think is female (Less spots on the lower sides) will adventure out from behind the bogwood more readily.
I hope you can get a few pics and also can you tell me what his diet is? Ive had mine for around 5 months and are doing great, Im just curious as to what yours eats...

At the Pet Store where I work, we have some Puffers. Since I don't know I think about them, maybe someone here can fill me in.
How much salt do they need? What other tips can you give me?

yeh i got a semi-adult one, but had to give it away cuz it was too quicking outgrowing my tank..
I've been feeding him dried Krills ( the one by Hikari to be specific)
he doesnt seem to be interest in frozen brine shrimp or bloodwarm, i havent had a chance to feed him snails but im sure he'll eat those too.. but yeh mostly Krills.. he eats about 2 full one per meal.

Rocketman---need more info. Can you tell us what they are called & what they look like?
I feed my 4" ceylon the same as my GSPs & fahaka. Almost anything found at the fish dept of my grocery store (except fish). Squid, scallops, crab legs, clam, oyster, mussells, shrimp, in adition to krill, crickets, snails & earthworms.
