How old do dwarf puffer (P U F F E R) fry need to be

Post by puffarama »

before i give them away? They are off brine shrimp and eating bloodworms. They killed the snail in their tank (T A N K). About half are pushing four months old and the other half of them are almost 6 months old. Are they old enough to give away? Any thoughts would be appreciated as I have been all over the internet looking for the answer to this question unsuccessfully :D (I have no idea why but when I previewed this post, the word p u f f e r was replaced with poodle and t a n k with ocean ?!!? Why I would be unable to type these words on a fish forum is definitely strange ?!!?

4 months is plenty old for an experienced puffer keeper to deal with a DP I would say, though they are tiny at that size, if you are going to ship, the smaller the fish, the easier the travel on them.
No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.

They do seem little and no shipping, just local. Thanks for your reply, appreciated :)

Where are you located? I might be in the market for some DPs. I would want to be able to sex them though....
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.
