wow! Right now their body is about an inch, with the tail making it 1 1/4" inches. I wonder how fast they grow?

OK OK.... I know old thread..
Anyone have experience with dwarfs?
I was thinking of setting up a 10 gallon tank.....I have an eclipse hood filter/light set up for this. Do any of you think that I will be able to start a planted tank and introduce puffers once up and running??

It's the poison that specially trained chefs in Japan remove from puffer fish (fugu) while fileting them. If they don't filet the fish right you could end up dead. It is also used in Voodoo rituals by the Haitians to turn people into zombies.
