Dwarf Puffer Breeding

Post by Brent »

I'm going to be breeding the Dwarf Puffers I'm getting in a few weeks... How big should the egg and fry tanks be? And should I seperate the different sized puffers? I've heard of cannabolistic activity occuring between siblings.

The tank doesn't have to be large. A 10 gallon or smaller would be fine.
I wouldn't worry much about separating different sized specimens.

They seem to like to lay their eggs in Java moss. Good luck!

dwarfpuffers.com has a log of posts made by a successful breeder. Go to the site and click on "Ren's Posts."
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Found among the papers of Mohatma Gandhi
