Setting up my 10g hex for DPs. Saw 2 at my LFS yesterday, they look like females.

See if you can see if these fish eat frozen food. This is the major issue for me. If the fish don't then it all can become very interesting.
Seems a shame that I got my Puff from somewhere which fed only live food.
i think you know what your doing Pufferpunk.

I purchase 1 lb of live blackworms every 10 days. Not a problem here.
I also offer FD plankton & they ate them right up, last time I kept them.

PP uses live blackworms routinely, the DPs will be very easy for her to feed.
Ditto for me. I'm now allergic to bloodworms, but blackworms are conditioning food for several of my breeding fish, so always stocked. The DP basic diet of snails and live blackworms is trivial for those of us who have too many wet pets anyway.

IDK... they're sooooo tiny! I did get them a trio of really cool Burmese loaches to clean up after them:

I should be able to at least get a pic of their tank tomorrow.

Aren't the loaches going to get too big? Hey, sounds like an excuse for an upgrade to me!
They might not be females, ya know - you might be surprised in a couple of months! Gender benders!

I see wrinkles on one of them.
The loaches are as big as they're gonna get, about 2". Just as long as a khuli & a lil thicker.

The other one might start showing signs of being male soon.
I thought the loaches got bigger, huh. Never mind.
