    They have them at the Petsmart on Kirby near the Reliant Stadium for under 3 bucks too.

      My husband went nuts when he saw the dwarf puffers, but I stopped him until we know more about them. I don't think they will go well in my tank. But they are so cute!

        Sounds like a good time to suggest another tank. It could be a small one,  or not

          I was thinking the same thing, szidlon!

          How are they doing, Ellen? They look great!

            Yeah, szid & mzungu - I hope one of you has a spare room, because I definitely would be tossed out if I got another tank! But sure do like those little puffers!

            Ellen - more pictures please!  :)

              They're doing great! They've stopped schooling like they did in the beginning since they've gotten used to their tank. They are little beggars when they see the turkey baster (aka bloodworm feeder). They seem to enjoy swimming around and relaxing in the plastic plants I threw in the qt to provide some cover for them. Here's a couple pics I took just for you when I fed them a few minutes ago!

                Thanks Ellen! They are adorable. Tell them "Aunt Daisy" says hello, because I think this is as close to having some of them as I'm going to get!  :mrgreen:

                  Don't say that...maybe one day you can sneak in a 10 gallon and have a couple, esp. if your hubby likes them so much! Maybe on a kitchen counter.....

                            Today I 'harvested' some mosquito larvae and the puffers really seemed to enjoy hunting down the swimming food! It's been 6 days and they're all doing very well. They're all eating and still appear to be healthy. I'm very happy with this purchase!

                                Well, qt will last at least 7 more weeks, but after that they'll be going in my 10 gallon funky tank - you know, orange gravel, neon colored plants, fake corals etc.   It's pretty filled up with plants and decorations, so I hope they can get along in it. If there are issues, I guess I'll have to set up another tank or two... To be honest, I really didn't expect them all to survive...
