dwarf puffers

-cAtFiSh- · Jul 27, 2004

i have just bought a new 24 gallon tank to replace my 15 gallon tank and eveything that is in the 15 gallon is going into my 24 gallon. when i have done that i will have an empty 15 gallon and i think if i move some stuff around in my room i will be able to fit that in there as well. im not sure what to put in it though. i was thinking fish, couple of hermit crabs or an axylotle thing (cant spell!). and then i thought dwarf puffers! i have no experience whatsoever with puffers of any sort. would dwarfs be good for a beginner? would they be alright in a 15 gallon tank?

Dwarfs would be the best puffer for someone with no experience with puffers. You could have 4 or 5 with lots of caves and plants for them to set up territories.

I've just got two green spotted puffers for my 15g that was spare. They are brilliant fish and soooo amusing

Get some definitely

Aren't they great? I hate to nag you, and you probably already know, but you will need a 60 gallon for 2 GSP in the future..

thanks for the help

. it would be a while until i get any though as i need more money and i want to get my 24 gallon sorted first. it will happen someday though!
something else i forgot to ask; i have never seen puffers of any sort in any quarium shop i have been into. do u think my lfs would order some in for me if i asked them? also are dwarfs expensive?

Most people say dwarfs aren't very expensive, only a few dollars, but at my LFS they're $6.99 each. Dwarfs are the most common fish in the aquarium trade, I believe, and most stores can get them one way or another.
