lol, thay could be a long process. I think Ive had my hairy now about 4 years to just figure out its female. Would be a costly search to find a male. But the challenge to raise baby puffers would be pretty cool.
That is pretty cool! I by complete fluke managed to score a male and female palembang before... but once i realized they started breeding and i wasnt able to raise the fry (tried 3 times), i sold the pair to an LFS that were interested in breeding them...
Shame i think they didnt like being at the LFS coz after a while i heard they passed away, although when i think about it, they probably sold them off to someone else...
Odd you should mention the palembangensis, as I just posted about some I recently acquired. How many did you have and how did they interact when housed together? Are they at all dimorphic?
'Scruffy' the hairy puffer update
On her perch. She loves to sit on top of this driftwood with a nice little hollow on top
Caught her puffing
Back to her proper psi, lol

Sorry but didnt see this post before...
To answer your questions though...
I only had 2 housed together and there was very minimal interaction that i would actually see... The only time i ever really caught them interacting was when they were ready to breed...
As for the sexual dimorphism, there honestly wasnt any i could tell, although at that time i never really thought to pay much attention to body shapes etc... so would love to re-visit the idea of comparing male and female bodies to see if there are any differences...

Killer pics. She looks really good.
