Dwarf Puffers

[alexarae]

Okay...does anyone have any experience in "dwarf puffers"?

If so, what tankmates?
How big was the tank?
What did you feed it?
Would you say that it's somehwhat aggresive?

I have googled this little guy for hours and read all that I can read.
I'd like to hear your personal thoughts about these little guys.

Re: Dwarf Puffers

If so, what tankmates? anything bigger or faster
How big was the tank? 5.5g and 20g
What did you feed it? frozen bloodworms drive them nuts!
Would you say that it's somehwhat aggresive? I had pea puffers and they were not aggressive compared to a lot of other supposed "non-aggressive" fish

Re: Dwarf Puffers

Just FYI..... Fish Gallery has baby bottle puffers for $8.99.

Really cool looking puffers and small sized right now.

Re: Dwarf Puffers

I thought about getting one of these for my little tank at work... but decided against it cuz I didnt want to have to deal with frozen food or anything other then prepared foods at work.

Re: Dwarf Puffers

You could wean it onto freeze dried.

In a fish bag.

Re: Dwarf Puffers

alexarae -- just to let you know.. I picked up from Geoff 3x Syno Petricola's at 7:30pm from his place and dropped them into the tank when I got home at 5:30am (10 hours later) ... bucket and an airstone..   not the same.. but you have to remember fish transported from a pet store, got to the pet store the same way they leave... via a bag of some sort..

Re: Dwarf Puffers

If a fish is properly bagged it should be able to survive at least 24 hours.

Re: Dwarf Puffers

I brought a porc home from Houston to Beaumont. It was in the bag for at least 8 hours. Not a problem.
