I can't help but notice in that pic of the female, post munching, her tummy is bigger down one side. Any of you other DP owners ever notice that when they REALLY pack a lotta food in, they have a larger belly on one side?
29 Gallon Marine tank, with refugium, skimmer. Base rock, coral skeletons. Stock: Baby Ocellaurus Clown, young Saddled Toby, 3 Hermit crabs,one 2 inch Bristle Worm, hitch hiking starfish.

10g Biotope. 3 C. Travancoricus (Dwarf Puffer) Some Ghost shrimp, gravel/sand substrate, heavily planted with Swords and Java Moss.

10g LR Culture Tank. 10+ pounds fiji LR / base rock. Assorted hitch hiking inverts

Some FW tanks.

In My Experience, Fishkeeping is like Cooking. Five or ten basics will keep anyone from getting sick. But to be truly magnificent... You have to know the right Recipies.

That's my little fatty fat fat in the pic, and now that you mention it, she does look a bit lopsided!
Yo ho, yo ho, a puffer's life for me.
