zebra Fish Master Posts: 1671 Kudos: 291 Votes: 37 Registered: 08-Oct-2001	Today I got a dwarf puffer . I use to have some a long time ago- but i saw them today and they are just sssooo cute i couldnt pass one up . He is in my 2.5 gallon tank with 2 dwarf frogs. I have a question- its been a long time since i have had them and i did get some pest snails b/c i remember how they need the snails to keep their beak(i think thats what there called) down. But how do you tell from male/female? Mine has like an orange tail- i dont know if that means anything. Thanks -kristin ~!!I lOve LiFe!!~

Males tend to be a bit smaller.Don't have distinct freckles.As they get older, they will develop a line down their bellies.And wrinkles behind their eyes. If you go to www.dwarfpuffers.com on the top banner, there is a male and a female.Lots of great info too. Kim

See: http://64.191.28.50/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32001 That tank is way to small for all 3 anyway. A tank that size will not be albe to handle the bioload (their wastes).
