Same as usual; I’ve never had a problem with fish from other stores. I only go to this one every 6 months or so to see if the results are any better.
 
a little more advice for you. you should always always always quarantine new fish. if your new fish have anything that could be passed on to your existing fish, it is likely to show up in quarantine. just adding new fish to your main tank can lead to disasters. a minimum time frame is 2 weeks. most people here quarantine for 4

it's called GOOGLE...just googled dwarf puffers freshwater or brackish and got pages full of articles saying they are good for both.

Never understood why people must be flat out rude on forums. I am a paid admin at 60 online message boards and it amazes me everyday the responces I see. Unless you weren't trying to be a smartazz, then I retract my previous statements :lipssealedsmilie:

Holy cow, he was just asking for a link to the debate. He even said 'please'. You just ripped him a new one for nothing.

If anyone here has been rude in anyway, it's YOU.
 
furthermore, as an admin on various sites, you must know that not all the information on the web is accurate

Nah, it's funny you mention skiptons though. I worked as a counselor in an elder living facility. One of the residents kept a 70 gal. I would go in and talk to him and look at his giant opaline gouramis. He was a big fan of skiptons. I actually wanted to go there, but forgot it existed until you mentioned it just now.

thanks :)
 
I heard from a friend who had freshwater dwarf puffers when one of them got spooked it puffed up full of water (not air) and could not deflate and he had to press the puffed up puffer under the water with a stick till it deflated.
 
I heard if DPs die and your other fish eat it, that fish will die from poison. Is this true?
