honestly DWARF PUFFER IS SO BORING, they're so small i can barely see it from far away, all my friends are like WHY DON'T YOU HAVE NO FISH IN YOUR TANK, but i think it's because i only have one, MABYE I SHOULD GET 2 MORE, but honeslty i want to just take em back to my pet shop and trade it in for a figure 8

Many of us would tend to disagree with you, Sjsteveo, even those with a single DP. If you are unhappy with it, take it back but do not get an F8. If I remember correctly, you have a 10g tank and that is not sufficient for a F8. You and your friends might just be happier with some guppies or something a little more active and colorful.

Puffers have very individual personalities. Out of the 6 Dps I have, only one (the biggest one by far) is shy at all. The rest are constantly trying to get my attention.

You could try adding a couple more, but be conscious of the genders as PP was saying. Have you posted any pics of your tank? Maybe it needs more deco/plants.
