I was at the LFS today and it looks like they’re down to the last one of your males. He was feisty! I was running my finger on the glass and it tried to bite my finger through the glass, lol. 

They bring the puffer for sure very interactive

So far they have all been very friendly the one here had no interest in them at all just his food.... whixh was frozen tilapia that meal

Turns out, as you can imagine, all males is not conducive to producing fry in the future.

Awesome. What is the size difference between the two puffers at this point?

@Dancing Matt Its pretty drastic difference still maybe 9.5" to 5.5" ... the smaller one is starting to develop more spots

Larger

This may be the best not great clarity comparison. They were both demanding more food today. The finger was for size "guesstimation". They recieved 2nds of dinner: 1 extra frozen crayfish for the larger and 40 or so extra ramshorns for the smaller

@Odd Duck 🤣 .... it does add to the photo now that you mention it .... no fingers were harmed in the making of that post and all puffers went to bed full 😁

One interesting behavior of the cross rivers is that neither bothers their limia vittata clean up crew in the divided 270 with them. I now ranch limia vittata which probably number in the high hundreds at this point.
