I once bought a few baby puffers and it was one of the worst experiences with fish that I ever had. They all killed each other in a matter of two days. I was shocked at how aggressive they were towards each other. They were fine in the store when I bought them, but when I put them in their new home they started attacking each other. I admit that I didn't do any research on them before I bought them so that was my mistake. If I ever get a puffer again I will only buy one and I will make sure I do my homework before buying it.

beave, try expanding your search of fish stores, and dont go to any national chain types they tend to have the worst selections.
I see them at most fish stores in my area for 2-5$ each

I have 2 got them for $2.49 each there ncie to eachother? Mine never pick on the dwarf frogs, or ghost shrimp, but i did have to take out a fish because it was getting picked on by one of them :(

Mine eat frozen brineshrimp and small snails they only torture the big snails and eat there atennas it's kind of sad when u watch it.
