She is cute as a button!!
No, i wasn't bothered with what sex she is, i just never looked into whether she was male or female. I figured since she's alone it didn't matter. I did have 2, and i'm pretty sure the other one was male, he was smaller and had stripes. He never got old enough to show eye wrinkles though.

Re: Update on Button (DP)
The new tank looks great, I bet the plants will come in better there. Do you do any fertilizer dosing?
Button. Aw...I love that name. Very cute little dwarf puffer you have there! Hope she is happy in her new home, once she settles in!

Re: Update on Button (DP)
Thanks!! The tank is all clear now so looks much better. She glass surfed a bit but seems to be settling in, ate her dinner all up and watched me watching her. Very cute.
She's actually named after Jenson Button the formula 1 driver. I had 2 and one is Button and the other was Vettel, the 2 drivers i follow.

Re: Update on Button (DP)
Looks good!
Only thing that worries me about the ones I have is I cannot find them half the time! They are the masters at hiding in the decor you provide them, so keep that in mind!

Yeah lol.
Here is a FTS of my 10G DP tank for comparison. We had a very similar setup.
Can you see them?

Re: Update on Button (DP)
Thanks guys!
KC i bet you're excited, i was super excited waiting to go and get my 2.
Bertie, it is stocked. It has 1 dp. i'm planning on getting cherry shrimp but who knows when that will happen.
sgtmyers,they really are good at hiding, although i could always find Button in the 20g, he liked to buzz around the top of the tank. In yours i can see1 do, how many are in there?
