Right...

they wont eat snails it would appear

but will this really be a problem with such small puffers???

has anyone had any similar trouble - or has anyone found that their irrubescos didnt require dental care???

my male lunges at my female - and she always gets out of the way, but it doesnt seem as though he is trying to kill her or anything, he has the red line on his belly, so i expect its something to do with sexual frustration maybe, she is a bit gorgeous so he surely would want her!

cheers he doesnt seem to want to hurt her... as when she moves he leaves it, unless she goes close again.....but its only very seldom happening, most of the time they are swimming together up and down and up and down. she seems to be able to see him coming and moves quick enough to stop whatever he ...

exactly like mine!!!!


theyre amazin!


definatly male and female

Ive finally got them! they have been in the tank since last wednesday, thay are amazing little things but...i have some questions still! 1. Will they ever puff up?? If they do does it show unhappiness?? 2. How often do u feed your puffers? Cos mine dont seem to eat much at all, my male dwarf puffer ...

they are being delivered today, they have been in a tank together for ages

but...iv got a dwarf in the tank...apparantly maybe not a problem, but i have a 2 gallon standing by incase

its 15 US gallons........58 litres

but im sure itll be cool anyway...theres loads of room and lots of places to hide and alot of stuff to break lines of sight

Anyone got an opinion ???

i found something somewhere posted by someone


this person had 3 irrubescos in a 20 gallon tank... apparently with no problems and perfectly happy fish...


im ordering 2 for my 15 gallon...a male and a female

in a 15 gallon though???

yhe just read....theres a video on you tube of dwarfs with gobys.....mad...anyway ta

anyone tried it? iv heard of it a couple of times

iv never understood the whole thing...i suppose it depends on what u are trying to create...something that is mainly to look nice or something that represents a piece of nature

fair does

its my sense of humour sorry

i personally cannot see the attraction to those decorations....infact they make me feel ill...but thats me! i think i must be missing the point or somethin
