Life span of Dwarf puffer??

[Elisabeth83]

I was at my lfs today and they got in a few dwarf puffers and I instantly fell in love with them I've been sitting here for the last hour trying to find as much information as I can about them. One thing I can't seem to find though is the life span of them?

I've also been sitting here reading through everyone elses posts about them and got most of the questions I was thinking of asking answered

I'd probably just set up a little 5-7 gallon hex and only get one. I read they can become aggressive once they reach maturity

On another forum, I read 10 years, but that was for puffers in general so probably less for DP's. And yes they can get aggressive as they mature. That sounds like a nice setup for one DP if you plant it well.

I used to have a DP so I had to do my fair share of research on the cute thing too... I think the number that stuck to my head was 5 years, just don't quote me on that.
