We bought two dwarf pufferfish (Carinotetraodon travancoricus) on Saturday. I chose them partly because I like puffers, but also because they should keep the snail numbers down. We think we're got a male and a female, but it's not that easy to tell when they're young. They're currently the smallest fish in the tank at 1.5-2cm and should grow to around 4cm. I've researched dwarf puffers on the internet and found differing opinions on how aggressive they are, some people have found them to be extremely aggressive, but so far ours are fairly peaceful. There seems to be a consensus that they need an interesting tank with plenty of places to explore, which hopefully our tank is.
