Re: 10 Gallon Dwarf Puffer Aquarium
Great tank! How many DPs are in there? If it's more than one, I'd personally add a few more really tall plants or objects, to break up the sight lines a bit more. DPs are FUN, aren't they?
Yo ho, yo ho, a puffer's life for me.

Re: 10 Gallon Dwarf Puffer Aquarium
I got two females and a male from my LFS for $2 each. I went ahead and got two females to avoid stress on the single female if the male decides its time to breed. I have been considering getting a few strands of Anacharis http://www.thatpetplace.com/Egeria-dens ... ris-208920 or Hornwort http://www.thatpetplace.com/Ceratophyll ... ort-208911 for my tanks including this one. That mossy stuff pictured above I had got from a local stream when I set up the tank a while back. The tank is using a filter rated for a 20-30 gallon tank as well.
And yes they are somewhat more personable and less skittish then my GSP's. I guess it is Napoleon Syndrome. lol

Re: 10 Gallon Dwarf Puffer Aquarium
Not familiar with plant life in creeks and such, but the "mossy stuff" you collected looks a lot like algae.
