I see. I heard they like to keep their space so I'll get more plants and my tank is longer so thats ok? I think i will try it.

Re: Sexing young dp's

I read on a post that you kept 3 in the same setup as mine. How did you get all three? You just got them one by one? What if two of them turn out to be male? Thank you.

Re: Sexing young dp's

I read the wiki article on dwarf puffers which says that pufferfish choose their sex. Once one becomes male he secretes a hormome preventing the others from becoming male. Two can become male at the same time if they mature at the same time. Is this true? So i can just get one male and two juveniles...

Sexing young dp's

I know that it's best to get two females to one male. I also heard that it is hard to tell the sex of the young pufferfish they sell at fish stores. So how do I get two females and one male? Thank you.
