Will a 2 gallon be large enough?

After much deliberation, I've decided to seperate my dwarf puffer from her current tank. I've noticed she's been nippy and moody lately. Will a two gallon tank be large enough for her?

Temporarily, yes. Permanently, no.

A 2 gal should be fine as long as you make sure to do daily water changes. With such a small tank you will get a build up of chemicals in the water a lot quicker and the puffers are very sensitive to chemicals. If you could get a 7.5 or 10 gal it would be better.

Well, I won't need to move her now...but thanks anyway.

She has seemed to return to her normal, placid self. Maybe she was just a little eerked after the incident with the little puffer.

Glad to hear they are getting along better. You may still see the odd nipping or chasing, but it sounds like they have established the pecking order.
