it has slowed somewhat at the moment but the next batch seem to be growing at a quicker rate. There are far more alert and faster growing.

none at all at the moment.
There are still 13 bigger ones and around 37 little ones.
The little ones occasionally fight for the same bloodworm but it is only a tug of war match. They literally put the bloodworm from the stomachs of each other lol!

I have just let another batch of around 100 eggs fade away but the parents laid another batch this weekend.

The puffers are starting to get big enough to exchnge tanks. This will mean I will try to save this latest batch of eggs.

I have read that they will eventually start to fight. Will you have enough tanks to seperate them?

They are getting close to saleable size now and no fighting. I don't think it will be aproblem. I can set up dividers if needs be.

sorry missed this.

I will have to way up the risk and the cost if there is serious interest in them.
