Hey everyone! I just got 3 DP's!!! They are in a 10g with one oto. I did have 3 otos but a friend took all but one of them for me until I finish my 20 long setup. Here are LOTS of pics (my camera's not that great though...) Let me know how you think they look! Here's the whole tank (I'm going to be ...

If I HAD to transfer some DPs (3 hour car trip) what would be the best way to do this? I know this travel isn't ideal, but its the only way I can get them back up to their tank... I was thinking about keeping them in a relatively large solid colored container (so they wouldn't feel exposed) and try ...

Yeah, they're little dp's alright, but I guess they just wanted to call them something different... Thanks guys!

My LPS actually has a really great guy that knows his stuff... I try to only deal with him, heh. But yeah, he's always asking people to bring water samples in for testing and to wait until their tank is cycled before they buy any fish. I always see him walking around in the back checking on all of t...

They have the Dwarf Puffs at my LPS listed as "Golden BB Puffers" I've heard them called BB puffs before but I was wondering if there were color variations or if the LPS people were just confused, haha... I hadn't heard of any variations, has anyone else? I'll try to get a pic of the littl...

Since they have 3 at the store which seem to get along now (and they look almost full grown) I think I'll go ahead and get them... BUT I'll go ahead and set up another tank just in case. And I may move them anyway just so I can use this 10g for a corydoras tank I've been wanting to do :D Thanks for ...

Hello all!!! I was just wondering if it was too much to have 3 Otos and 3 DP's in a 10g? I'll be adding 2-3 more large groups of plants and a black background before I purchase the DP's. I already have the Otos, but I have someone who will give one or more of them a good home if I cannot. My tank is...

I'm quasi new to fishkeeping but I have been trying to do my homework My friend has several tanks and I will be giving the other fish to him for now. I'll look for the BioSpira, having the tank cycled in a few days would be great... so I'll keep an eye out for it. Thanks!

Thanks SO much! All of the rosy reds are doing fine (thankfully)... so I'll move them out at start a fishless cycle. Thanks again for all of the help!

The woman at the store just told me to get some cheap fish to cycle the tank... so I got some rosy reds. And I should be doing a few partial water changes before I get the DP's. Does that sound ok?

Hey everyone! I just registered and had a some DP questions... This is a pretty long post so I apologize in advance. :) I have a 10g tank and was thinking about getting some F8's, but after realizing that a 10g was WAY too small, I've decided on 2-3 DP's. This will be my first puffer tank. My tank ...
