I have considered it and am moving on, here are three dwarf puffers for sale.

Livestock: Dwarf Puffers as detailed below
Quantity for sale: 3
Reason for Sale: Tastes have changed and getting different stock in
Delivery or Collection: Collection
Sales price: Negotiable, if travelling they are free, but insist on good home
Postage & Packaging: N/A
Location: Bournemouth, Dorset
Photograph: These will follow

There are two males and one female. One male is separated by himself and is very moody, changes colour constantly. The other female and male are perfectly healthy, live well together and eat main staple of bloodworm and snails. I insist these two go together, the third male is optionable but it is not recommended to keep him with the other two unless trying with many more females.

Please only negotiate in the thread. I do love these guys dearly but as mentioned above my tastes have changed and am upgrading in the puffer world at the end of the month.

tell me about these guys?
iam intrested in them for a nice little two foot spare tank i have....

what avenue are you heading down now then?

 

[lilacamy931]

I am afraid it is betta avenue and my large main tank to be Green Spotted Puffs!

Dwarf Puffs, these guys are really very sweet, their main staple is bloodworm, can set up with snails as well. They grow to an inch long on average have heaps of personality. The males are distinguishable from the females by their striped bellies and blue wrinkles around the eyes ( I will identify each of them for you!). The general rule of thumb is 5g for the first puff and 3g for each additional (though some say 5g per puff). They are extremely good beggars! Always keep 2-3 females per male to lessen aggression if more than one male in the tank. I did have a second female but she died recently from getting an air bubble wedged (this was pretty much a freak accident so don't worry if you do get some). They explore every piece and inch of the tank and also learn to recognise the hand that feeds even from across the room. They also do not stress out hardly at all even when moving things around the tank, they will come up and touch you (peck if they are hungry not that it hurts). The lone male is a stresshead and he may not get rehomed, it may be worth trying him with more females though.

You are pretty local Nelly, you are welcome to come view them! (also p.s. if you would like them they are yours)

P.s. anyone interested can come view

hmm sound good enough, are they community fish or species, not a problem either way

 

[bae1994]

species i believe

 

[lilacamy931]

Personally I would say species tank only, some have had good success with otos in an established tank, shrimps are a def no go. These guys should also not be overfed (like anyfish) but especially as they never stop. Just going to get a pic one mo.

 

[england]

hehe i have snail infestation in my tank so grubs not a problem, up to you mate

 

[lilacamy931]

Um just looking to see if the male is there -ah the top pic the bottom of the two is the male available (top is female lost i believe) These could start you off and Maidenheads usually stock these as well as Soutern on occasion. If adding more, take all out and add new ones first then these to help with territories etc

This is the female

This is the loner:
