Hello Everyone! I'm new to this forum, and asked my question on MarineDepot.com's forum, but was referred here by the Puffer Queen herself, Kelly.

So heres my story: I looked in my 30 gallon tank yesterday to check on my Red-eye puffers, (we have two of them in there) and to my suprise, there are hundreds of clear teeny sized puffer-looking things swimming in the tank! :hyper: My only thought is it HAS to be baby puffers! Its such a shock to my boyfriend and I as we've had the puffers at least two years. Originally buying 4 of them... (one recently died, and another was given away. )

Does anyone know about baby puffers (or puffers in general) and how to care for them? I'd like to try and keep as many alive as possible! Any info is appreciated! :supercool:

They are Indonesian Red Eyes. :twisted:

We've had them for so long, and after all this time, there's babies!! I'm hoping I can keep a few of them, but I've never had this happen before, so i need all the help I can get! :wink:

They are VERY tiny, and I'm not positive the camera will pick them up, but I'll definitely try tonight. It's so cool though because when you look at them really close, they look SO much like a puffer, just clear!
