DP Update.

Post by Phoenix91 »

So i've had my two dps for about a month and a half now and i thought it would be a good time to post an update.

Both puffers are doing great; they each have their own little personalities and so far i've seen no aggression at all, they even sleep in the same plant most nights. They've grown a little bit since i got them, not much but to me they look a fraction bigger. They've also changed colours. Vettel (the smaller one) is really vibrant most of the time, definitely more when hunting though. Button on the other hand has very little colour at all, i think s/he looks like a tiny little pig.

The tank is on my kitchen bench right now and they both like to come watch me wash the dishes, they're too cute. The tank stand i want is on back order until tomorrow but once i get it they'll be moved into my dining room where they'll have more light and be able to see Artemis, my female betta.

Unfortunately some of the taller plants i had in the tank melted and died so the tank is a little too bare for my liking. They really don't seem to mind, they spend their time chilling around the driftwood and hunting for stray snails. They're also really interested in the nano marimo ball i put in there last week, every time it moves when i do water changes they think it's something completely new. Such curious little busy bodies.

You're doing a great job!
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

Thanks guys. I'm hoping that when i get a bit more experience with these two then i can maybe get a slightly larger puffer too, they have such huge personalities.
