Hello.
So I got two dwarf puffers, they are very nice and cool. But one of them is a little bit aggressive (3 gallon tank, about 14 liters). What can i do? I don´t want it to be one big guy and one shy guy.. Thanks for answers:-)

1) get an appropriate size tank for 2 dwarfs (10 gallon or larger), they need lots of room, and be sure to decorate appropriately for them
2) if you have 2 males, you have trouble (a male & female OR 2 females are OK)
3) read carefully: ug.php/v/PufferPedia/Freshwater/C_Travancoricus/
4) in the future, please research BEFORE you buy

Now everything is okey! I gave one of the puffers back to the zoo, so someone else can make a nice home to it. As i can see the one i have left do have it better now :-) Just love these fishes (it´s my first puffer). I´m feeding it whit melted frozen food, is that i good choice? I´m also searching for some small snails too it, but i have not find it yet.

this is my 7th or 8th year whit aquarium (everything from 280 liters to 15 liters) and this is absolute the coolest fish i ever had!

good move re-homing the other puffer, but please get a larger tank (5 gallons at least) (10 would be better) for the remaining one
all will benefit from it :)
