How many gallons can one freshwater dwarf puffer fish live in?
Also, I have heard that puffer fish are mean and tempremental. Is this true or false? Do they also require a lot of maintenance? What is their diet? Fish flakes?
Thanks All!
Also, where can you buy them for the cheapest price? How many can fit in a 10 gallon tank as well? will the people at the petstore know which ones are males and females, when I ask for males?
If they are high maintence, how is it different from cleaning other fishes tanks?
Thanks for the responses!
For a single Dwarf Puffer, I’d recommend 5 gallons. Though people have very successfully kept them in smaller tanks, this requires much greater attention and careful planning. These ARE territorial, aggressive fish, but this can be negated with lots of plants and wood as well as choosing mostly females, as they tend to be far less aggressive. A smaller tank will require more maintenance, but a 10 gallon tank with a few Puffers would only need weekly water changes like any other properly stocked tank. They will NOT eat flakes. You will have to trick them into thinking their frozen food is live in many cases. Using an eye dropper to feed them thawed bloodworms and brine shrimp is perfect, and you’ll likely be able to hand feed them eventually.
EDIT: In a well decorated 10 gallon tank, you could comfortably fit 3-4, especially if they are all (or most) females. Water changes would be no different than any other fish– 15-40% a week, depending on what you need to do to keep the nitrates below 20 ppm (my personal mark, not a steadfast rule). The chances of the employees being able to sex them are pretty low, so know before you buy: males will have a brown stripe down their belly and “wrinkles” around their eyes, while females won’t have either.

Will red paint de-laminate my vinyl-coated metal front door?
I recently purchased a multi-section, manufactured home which is 10 years old. I bought Valspar exterior glossy Fabulous Red for the front door (there’s a storm door, too.) I live in Indiana. This door faces mostly south and there’s no shade in the yard. I’ve been told that temperatures can reach 200 degrees between the two doors.
Will any dark color be a problem? I’ve been told that red will cause the vinyl to blister and peel off.
the paint wont its the heat build up between the doors that will affect the door

I have an iPod Touch 2ng gen. and on settings it says auto brightness and then I went to google and it said it has an ambient light sensor is that the little red dot thing on the top part right above the screen? And if so what does it do?
it measures the light in your surroundings and adjusts the brightness on your screen low light brings the brightness down a little and viceversa. it can get annoying but it works really good.
