My females are over a year old, but the males are at least half that age. One of them is near the size of the smallest female but the other is almost like a baby in comparison
 SO sweet!

I've just remembered that the lighting for this tank is actually flourescent and not incandescent.
I've got a high-reflection flourescent bulb in the light  I will, however look into one of those arcadia lights, thanks!

What current do DPs like?
A strong water flow? or not much at all? |

In a 16L tank you're not going to want a really strong current. Just enough to move the surface should be sufficient
 If your puff is being batted about the tank then good chance is the current is too strong

Are you sure it's not you liking to watch them paddling through strong current rather than them liking the current??  Don't forget, in the wild they live in slow moving rivers so moderate current is good. |

QUOTE ('genesis @ Jun 22 2008, 12:34 AM) Why's that? skinny ones might not be eating well, or might have internal parasites or something. also, make sure the fish guy doesnt take the puffer out the water.

Yeah, it's a good shop (featured in PFK and got an excellent review, hence why I shop there!) so they shouldn't be too stupid about the puffers.. I hope
