Do female dwarf puffers have crests and keels, like the males do?

males have wrinkles around their eyes and as they age they get more while females are usually lighter in colour and have no wrinkles.

I don't think they do, at least I never saw mine raise them.

No they do not have the keel.

Ok, then I can give 100% confirmation of a male DP with no eye wrinkles. INTERESTING.

Well, it has to be a MATURE dp.. the immature males won't have eye wrinkles either, the young ones all pretty much look like females.

Biggest DP in the tank, over an inch long, definately fully mature.

Perhaps a s/he is a mutant?

Today I saw a contest between Marilyn and Boeing, and s/he definately has a dorsal crest. I did not see any ventral crest however, and s/he definately has no eye wrinkles.
