I saw some at the LFS last night and I was wondering if someone could tell me about them.

thanks
 
I disagree Roan, Dwarf puffers are FW not Brackish, so why post a FW fish question in the Brackish forum? Is there a rule I am unaware of? Anyway, Dwarf puffers will reach 1" , they need 3 gal. of water per fish! They don't care much for flake food, but will eat it, They like Bloodworms the best! They are notorious Fin nippers, although I keep 1 in my 55gal. and it doesn't bother any other fish! stocking Ratio is 1M / 2F. Here is a site that deals with Dwarf puffers: http://www.dwarfpuffers.com/

Yes, there is a rule you are unaware of. It's posted in the brackish forum and OG moves puffer threads there.

Sticky: Welcome to the Brackish Forums! Puffer threads go in this forum, as new threads

I used to own 3 of those lil' guys. They are so fun to watch the way they swim. I loved mind, but sadly they all met their demise pretty early due to having gravel bigger than they were, so they tried to swim under the gravel, and got stuck. They tend to be mischievious, and curious about their surroundings, so you may want to "puffer proof" your tank.
Hope this helps any.

I have 1 in my 25 Gallon community aquarium. He is great fun to watch.
Eats Flake&Bloodworms... OOO and snails. he loves snails.
Most people say they are a "Species only" Type fish. but both of mine resided in my 25 Gallon. Sadly Juliet Died(the female)Romeo Is still very happy in his home.
