Cute! I love SAPs. You may want to keep a check on his/her belly as it's looking a little indented to me. See how it goes. I doubt it's IPs but I occasionally go through paranoid phases about such things... (oh just to be clear: don't treat your tank or anything - I'm just saying keep an eye out). ...

Just to say hi

Thanks very much also. How often do SAPs need dental trimmings

Thanks very much. I have put the small ones in a separate baby box (will post pics when have them)

Does anyone ever raise extremely tiny juvenile SAPs to mature-sized individuals? I have recenly encountered some very tiny (supposingly) SAPs in one of our local aquariums in Hong Kong. The fishes are very small (more or less the same sizes as dwarf puffers). Can they be raised from such small sizes...
