I can't believe this description of dwarf puffers at AZ Gardens
http://azgardens.com/misc_fish.php

I posted this over at dwarfpuffers.com a while back, but realized I forgot to do it here.

"Irresponsible" is all I can say. I may be an "internet know-it-all" but at least my fish aren't going to die of puffer wounds.

Quote from the above link:
Remember, these are a schooling fish. KEEP THEM IN GROUPS, BIG GROUPS! Perhaps the people that have had aggressive dwarf puffers kept them secluded without any buddies, or maybe they had only a pair, where they were only defending themselves or their eggs. Other instances of fin-nipping might occur due to improper water parameters, lack of territorial borders, or a lack of quantity!! .... They won't harm your Amano shrimp because their mouths are just too tiny.

Uh, I beg to differ!

I will never again deal with "AZ Gardens". Years ago I called in an order and was promised "quality" fish and shrimp. A few SAE's made it alive, the rest were DOA (dead on arrival). The shrimp were so dead it looked like they were steamed with Old Bay seasoning!

I lost a good chunk of money. No need to elaborate on this, but be cautious if you order from them.

:mad:

(maybe by some chance they figured out how to ship "live" products..)

hehe go ahead and keep them in big groups... you'll have a big group for a long time, but you wont see any of them. they'll all have taken the porcelain express in a big group. they might just be "sleeping" in your septic tank!
