Breeding Dwarf Puffers?

[samsung-401]

I just put in an order for six dwarf puffers (for my 20 gallon, I have a back up tank if need be.) there will be 4 females and 2 males. I would love to try and breed them, but I ohnastly have know idea how. I researched it on the internet and could not find any information on how to breed.

Has anybody ever had luck with breeding? How long does it take for the eggs to hatch? How do you raise the fry?

I'm also getting mine at about three quaters age so it will also be a while before they are old enough to breed anyway.

Ren's site is by far the best resource for breeding DPs. Strange how you didn't find his site when searching, it was pretty much the first one I found. You can also talk to a number of specialists on the dwarf puffer forum. I don't know of anyone on this forum who's trying to breed them, but I could be mistaken.

Good luck!
