Re: at what size or age do
When i had my fahaka puffer he was all blotchy when i first got him. But as I added a background and more decor he seemed to relax and started to show his colours.
Im sure i read somewhere that a light substrate like sand is meant to help?

I think he's still just a tiny thing....let him grow a bit and feed him well. He'll color up as he gets larger.

Re: at what size or age do
i could not resist doing the gravel change to sand and all whent really well .
he has changed his colour already alittle and his stripes have really started to shine through.
i will take another pic off him after his changs so you can see the big difference to his colour and stripes
