"New Babies!!!"

So I now know the most adorable fish are Freshwater Dwarf Puffers! No doubt about it. I had some ordered from my LFS, and they finally came in, so I picked them up yesterday. They aren't even an inch long! I put them in a 20 gal with 4 hide decorations and some plastic plants. I was worried that they would get very territorial and fight, but as soon as I let them out of the bag, they each went to their own spots and have been chilling there. I rarely ever see all 5 at once, lol. Of course, the tank that they are in is only temporary. They will soon go in a dirted planted tank with a sand/rock substrate. So, anyways, I added a couple of pics of their tank. I know the rocks are a bit too big, but they were all I had on hand at the time. What do you think?

 

Congrats on the new puffers!! Tank looks great

 

I love puffers!! Tall plants and moss for the new tank will be appreciated.

I'm tying to find some places to get a good selection of low-light plants, but am having a hard time. The best I've found are java fern, anubias, and amazon sword is it.

What luck does anybody have feeding-wise? I fed frozen brine shrimp today, and saw one gnawing on them, the others were hiding.

Thanks I will regret tearing it down when I move the puffers... LOL

I just have one little guy, but he's been attacking the frozen bloodworms.

As far as plants, I just ordered some water wisteria from Zeez.

 

Oh yes, my guys love their bloodworms as well. It's funny to one zip past with a worm and the there's a second puffer after him for it

 

Congrats on the new babies....I have dwarfs also and just adore them!!!!!
