Well he's still incredibly small. The smallest DP i've ever seen. It only takes about 2 or 3 blood worms before he looks like he's gonna pop. :p

I've been limiting feedings to once a day in the morning to keep the waste down, but as the tank is pretty much established now I guess I could bump it up to twice a day. (he got 2 feedings today actually cause he looked hungry tonight )

He seems to love the tank now. He's always swimming around actively checking things out. I hope he grows up to be big and healthy.

Sounds like you got things under control. I'm sure he will.
That was probably a good idea to limit feeding while the tank was getting established. But now you can really pack on the pounds.
"Boy, those bloodworms really go straight to my fins, lol"

He's a great little fella!

Just a thought - you might want to get him feeding on something other than blood worms. IME dp's love them but they get hooked real fast if that's all they get. Try something like mysis maybe, just to mix it up a little and increase the variety of nutrients he's getting. Might help him put on a few more puffer-lbs too!!

And of course DPs love snails if you can get any tiny ones. And my DPs go absolutely crazy for live bloodworms if you can get your hands on any of them.
