They are very cute and peaceful, but you really have to keep up with making sure they get plenty of plant snails to munch on. This species has the biggest problem with overgrown teeth out of all the freshwater puffers... (or so I've read.)
Even though I fed mine hard pellet foods and snails, their teeth would still overgrow and I would have to clip them short with fingernail clippers every few months or so.
I had those guys for nearly a year and a half and both died all of a sudden
I rarely see them in pet stores. When I do, they're normally around 12 dollars each.

That is really cool! Is it at all agressive? How do you clip its teeth?

Here's pictures of two of my freshwater tanks. Once I get home I can post the others. Enjoy.
My 44 Gallon (Angelfish, German Blue Rams, Black Moore Goldfish, Bristlenose Catfish & 1 pair Apistogramma agassizi)
My 160 Gallon (Mixed african Cichlids)

My 29 Gallon (Apistogramma cacatuoides & Fry on a monthy basis)
My 28 Gallon (Dwarf Puffers)
I also have a 20 Gallon with Apistogramma Cacatuoides fry, & a 10 Gallon snail tank for puffer food.
At work I have a 2 Gallon Beta tank & 10 Gallon misc. fish tank. None of those look as good as the tanks I have pictured here.

They are not aggressive at all. Mine weren't, atleast. Never nipped the fin of any fish, and I had a couple of fancy tailed guppies in with them at one point. As well as a betta. There is a very good write up online somewhere on how to clip their teeth. Go to google and type in "small puffer dentistry" in quotes, just like that. It's a pretty simple process.
Pretty much just have to feed him hard food and they will be fine.
No, that is not true. Like I said, my puffers got a steady diet of snails and hard pellet food (jumbo pellets, so they had to really munch on them to get pieces off) and they had constant problems with overgrown teeth. It's the asellus species that has the biggest problem with this.

Here is our 44g glass bow front. It's still low on fish, but we love the look of it, especially with lunar lights on. I'm in a process of switching the *fake* plants to real ones, half way there

Here's a few pics of my alpha male Burundi Frontosa in my 125. There's four other fronts in the tank but I don't have any pics uploaded to my photobucket yet.
