I currently have it in a 5 gallon tank for now since i cannot have it in the same tank as my DPs. Would it be okay in a 5 gallon for now? It is only about 1 inch.

I've seen F8s at my LFS that were as small as Dwarf Puffers! They were SO cute! ^_^

I want one!!!!!!! Wanna send me one?

Do you want mine? I dont have the tank or the experience to care for one. PM me if you really are interested in it...

Thank you. :D I ordered them from a seller on aquabid.com. It's kinda like an e-bay for fish. The seller called himself Kingfish Joe. He has his own store and website, which I'm sure I could find if I looked through my e-mails. He refunded me the amount for the fish, but I was out the 25 dollars fo...

Oh. Would it do okay in a freshwater environment? It is eating a looking pretty good so far...I have had it for about a week
