Dwarf Puffers

This is me planning for the future since both Smurf and Kaito are very much alive and kicking at the moment.

They live in the 9g. I've recently fallen in love with dwarf puffers. Cute, cute and cuter! Love

Is a 9g too small for 2 dwarf puffers?

I love puffers too, bumblebee puffers are adorable! One of my friends keeps them and he says minimum is approx 5g per fish, so 9g would probably work for two :-)

As I said, it probably won't be for ages - until Kaito and Smurf pass away, but I'm just working out whats feasible now.

A 9G will be fine the best rule is 5g for the first fish then 3g for every puffer after. So 9G will be fine but there needs to be lots of hiding spots and fairly heavely planted. The do need frozen and live foods aswell they dont do well on flakes or pellet like other fish. I would try and get 2 females or 1m 1f in a tank that sizE the way to tell is males are normally smaller and have alot darker spots where as females are bigger fatter and alot duller colours.
