Note to self: when going to aqua life for just one thing, don't go look at puffers. XD

Haha, me and my girlfriend love our singleton pea-puffer. She has made up several new uses of the word "pea-puffer" for our little friend, such as "pea-puffing around" for when she wanders around the tank, as well as exclaiming that the puffer is "pea-puffing hungry" XD. The puffer is also "pea-puffing cute"... anyways you get the point. Seriously though, DP's for me seem to have the most personality for such a small fish I've ever seen.

P.S. Those aren't DP shifty eyes by any chance lol? XD cracks me up when they do that shy little shifty eye thing.

Lol! I vote for calling a group of dps a swarm of dps!! XD they look so much like little bees hehe

Yeah, they crack me up! I could never have just one now cause they're even funnier in groups... I think having others around makes them bolder... At least if my face is near the tank... Swim away and freak out if the giant hand shows up!!!

They are amazing little critters! Gram for gram personality and aggression is unmatchable
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Hahaha I'm also a huge fan of these little guys and have a swarm of 10. Always entertaining me with their antics,I'm very lucky that they all get along very well and I've never seen any fighting or nipped fins. I would love a few more but I believe I'm reaching my stock limit.
