life span of dps

Post by barry77 »

hi, long time lurker. first time posting. :D

i'm thinking of getting 3-5 dwarf puffers for my 32G tank, but i can't find any information on their life span.

does anyone know how long these little guys live for?

thanks!

Dwarf puffers are awfully cute and they are very entertaining as well, but beware, you start off with a couple of those adorable little DP's and next thing you know, you're seeking out other puffers! It happened to me, it can happen to you too! :hyper:

I know the feeling I started with one gsp. Now I have two and trying to decide what I am going to put in another 30 gal. Something fresh water planted.
