thinking dwarf

Post by strike2 »

Well a new petsmart opened up and there were 8 dwarf puffers, 4 dead and 4 live, smallest I have seen yet. I am really considering getting two for a ten gallon.

I recommend one of the 4 live ones, they're much more exciting than dead ones.

Make sure you either keep something in it or use ammonia to keep it cycled.
