Other than Filbert, my favorite puffer I've owned. I got this fellow, Devlin, at 1". Generally, they are difficult to feed & must be dewormed often, for quite some time.

That explains why you said they were not suitable for beginners. Could you talk more in detail about why they need to be dewormed that often?

For some reason, they just come in from the wild loaded with them.
