Well Dexter is growing like a weed (8") he is happy in his 75gallon tank.
He has one tank mate a 5" Redtail shark..
In the next few months he is going to be swapped over to a larger tank.
Waiting to find something in the 200g range for him to have fun in.
Other then that here are a few pictures

Re: Dexter (update)
Glad he is doing well and that the upgrade is to be soon. He does need to she'd a little weight tho.
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Re: Dexter (update)
He is just chubby, either loose a feeding or reduce the quantity. How soon after feeding was that pic taken? If it was taken straight after you are feeding too much. If it was taken 24 hrs or more after last feed you are feeding too much too often.

Re: Dexter (update)
Yep, I'd be feeding an 8" puffer about every 3 days.
