Need helpquickly
I just got a new dwarf puffer. Its young and small. I asked for a female and although this one doesn't have the stripe down the belly, I THINK I see lines around the eyes. What should I do? I don't want two males together.

I think it takes some time for them to show their sexual differences when they are very young. Hopefully you will have your female.

Re: Need helpquickly
But would a female have lines? And if this isn't a female, will it do okay in the tank with my other? He is MUCH bigger than this one. This one also has yellow lines down its sides. Looks male to me- just minus the stripe on the belly.
