I just made a movie of my 20 gallon tank i have turned into a Dwarf puffer tank. I bought two about one month ago and they have growen lots. I bought two more a few days ago and there half my other twos size but with quite tempers. They are fresh water puffer fish and are very very intresting and camera shy. There are some new plants and gravel.

Tank stock :

4 Dwarf puffers
5 small guppys
3 assassin snails (2cm)
2 large golden apple snails
5 - 10 red ramshorn snails

I am also breeding triops cancriformis as live food for the DPs.

Here is a vid...

Perhaps just me, but I find this a rather odd thing to post in a Triops forum.

It's like posting in a Horse Riding forum that you raise horses for beef... :blink:

I think little green puffer will raise triops for live food for her DPs aswell. Triops are not very smart, i think it's better then dying of natural ways. they don't know anything but eat and lay eggs then die.

Okay, my idea.
I've used extra triops hatchlings as DP food. One gulp and it's over. :)

Beware... Those guppies might get bullied or even mutilated to death.

Hi, there still fine so are my shrimp, i lost my smallest DP only last week i think one of the other three must have killed her. One shrimp died the same day and looked like it had been cooked. There pretty good with other stuff.
