Since a day or 5 my dwarfpuffers are spawning for the first time, i took the camera and this is the result:

And where spawning was, we have found about 7 little eggs:
We have put them in a little container specially for fry, it's one like this:
I'll hope the eggs will hatch soon, i'm looking forward to the new baby dwarfpuffers

How come you didn't let the puffers care for the eggs?

I like the pic of Mommy? (looks like a little lady puff) making a poo and inspecting her handiwork!
ask: is this suffering necessary or unnecessary?

Because i have also some other fish in the puffer-tank like kuhli's, they love to eat some eggs and little fry.
I'll keep them apart so i can watch them every day one by one, and it's easier to do the feeding and i can see if they grow properly.
This is my first fry, so i'm carefull with the little babies
