Hey y’all i got 3 pea puffers in a 55 gallon tank and ive noticed 2 picking on each other, im wondering if i accidentally bought 2 males.. the fish store in my area gets them as babies and told me they would do the best they could to get me 2 female and one male but they also told me that it could be very hard to sex them at the size they get them. All the picture listed are different fish!

**side note: dont come at me for the empty/cloudy tank, i know they need lots of plants and decor to hide and they usually have all that! i recently fought and algae problem and today i took out all the plants and decor out to do a thorough cleaning to rid the tank of the remaining algae. Everything will be put back in in an hour or so! :D

The only sure way to sex these guys are the tiny wrinkles behind the male's eyes.
