You've all got me thinking about DP's. There are some in my lfs, playing fish tag - only the tag is a sideswipe!

The only other puff is a solitary red eye pining in a tank on her own. There's a big fish delivery in the next week, apparently :)

I've a few small tanks 30l, 60l, 100l going empty or what I use the tanks for (salt water mixing) could be switched around.

Just thinking I might be able to cope with another puffer tank now I may have got used to my Celon puffs. Just :)

I'm in Durham :)

I'm just wondering now if the puffers I saw are DP's or SAP's - they are about 1cm long if that and have a large spot in the middle of the body which sounds like the SAP. They seem aggressive toward each other but look in good condition.

Edit: just looked in the 'pedia - they are DP's. Feisty little things :) Have to wait to the end of the month but I could set up a tank sooner.
