hai, i'm adhie and i'm from indonesia, i just got palembangensis/humpback puffer view days ago, i got 4 of them, the store said that it's pairs..but i'm not sure about that because as far as i did long research, no one ever describe how to determine their gender..
oh, sadly, when i first got them they're packed in one bag, and when i put them on my 100 gallons tank, they killed my biggest PBass (about 11", and it's bigger than those puffers!), those humpback are about 8", and sadly i have no more space to put new tank, so..i just put separator glass to that tank, and the funny story is..my mum bought 4 12" and 2 4" koi and put them together with the HBP!!! so i separate some of koi and only left 1 4" koi and 1 12" koi..it's been 5 days since they've been together and all of them are fine..no one getting chewed..i need some advices..
> is there any chance i can take out the separator glass and let them all together?or there will be tragedy again??
> did anyone here ever succeed breeding them?or maybe just sexing them??because two of them have really bright color and the other two are so dark..
> how often should i feed them??some web said that they only can be feed each 2 days, because if we feed them everyday, they will be dead because of over feed.

please give me more advice and answer my Q..thank you so much guys!! :D :D :D

I have seen a 4" puffer bite an 8" pleco in half. They don't fool around! You're going to need more room then you are giving for 3 of them. Can't you return some?
Feeding every other day or less is fine.
