The Puffer Forum

Due to bereavement, I am left with one dwarf puffer on his own in a largish tank, is this ok or will he lonely? He's still eating ok.

Maybe I've been under feeding them, I was only feeding them 3times a week, I better start rinsing them too!

Yes I always defrost it first, it gets shared between all other tanks as far too much for just 2 little puffers! How often do you feed yours?

Fed my dwarf puffers tonight, I fed them frozen bloodworms as usual, I did put more in than usual as they always seem hungry and about 10 mins later they have both vomited it back! Is this ok? I normally only give them 2each, shall I go back to 2 every other night?

Tank is 70litres, had puffers in for about 1 month, but previous to that had some fish in to help it become established. It has quite a few live plants in and a fair size piece of bog wood, I'm putting even more plants in this weekend.

So I have 3 dwarf puffers in my tank, after reading lots and lots and lots I can't decide if I should put either dwarf oto's in with them or amano shrimp to help cleaning? Has anyone actually done this? Is it realistic?

All in separate tanks? Or do you keep some together? On second thoughts don't tell me, you could be a bad influence!

I just got mine from my local pet shop. Do ebay sell them? Master of puffers:how many puffers have you got!

Bought some live bloodworms today ( yuk) one definitely likes them, they seem a bit daft, they look at them for ages and either swim off, or 1 ate 2! How many should I give them?

Hi, got my new d.p's yesterday, how do I get them to eat? They don't seem to see the food. I've got them freeze dried blood worm and also little snails in the tank but they don't seem bothered?

Hi, this is my tank set up for impending puffer purchase. My questions are does it look planted enough? It's 64 litres and after research am not sure whether to get 2 or 3 dwarfs. If I get 2, 1 male 1 female will he not harass her lots? in which case would I be better get 1male 2 females ? Thanks.

Hello, another new member from the U.K. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I've set up a 65l tank so I can have some dwarf puffers and have been trawling the internet so the set up is as good as possible, apparently this is the place to come for good advice. My tank has a aqua flow 200 filt...
