The Puffer Forum

They just finished acclimating and I got a male and a female. They follow each other everywhere. I'm super happy with my purchases. Should I try feeding them now or wait until tomorrow? I forgot to ask at my lfs if they've been fed today... I got frozen bloodworms.

congrats on the purchase! I'm sure you're going to have a lot of fun with them!

You can wait on the food. They're probably too busy checking out the new digs to eat. Congratulations!

Thanks!! and i ended up feeding them and they both ate a lot lol.

Awesome Excited for your purchase, think of names yet? Got pics yet??

oh can you make a post like this with out pics, some of us (ok me) like pics more then words.


Oh and congrats and welcome to the addiction

The male is Pete and the female is Ingrid. i will work on pics tomorrow most likely..

and thank you!!!

Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing Pete & Ingrid.

Congratulations on your new DPs! They must be large/old enough that you can tell their sex if you already know you have a male and a female. I would have loved if my LFS had slightly older DPs so I could have chosen better (I ended up with 3 males and 2 females, eeeek!).

Enjoy your puffs!

Pufftastic, it's not so bad having more males than females. Usually in a group they work out a pecking order anyway, and I would guess that's what they will do in your case. You've got a nice big tank, and as long as you keep it planted heavily and give them lots of hidey places, they should be fine. I personally believe that DP's are most interesting in groups. I love watching mine interacting with one another, and how they all hang at the front of the tank when they are hungry. They make me smile, that's for sure!

My female orders my male around.
