It's simpler (is that even a real word =0 ), to just look at the
front feet. If there is webbing betweenthe toes..yes, it's a dwarf.

Ah, that helps me too. I've come close to buying some several times,
and I didn't know to look primarily at the front feet. Thanks.


The Dwarves stay small and are lovely. = )

Is it true that they are finicky eaters?


Only when you try and feed them something other than frozen Bloodworms. = )~

Swell :)

I've *finally* managed to get my Malabar puffer to eat freeze-dried
bloodworms, though he still prefers frozen. And even with freeze-dried,
I still have to feed him by hand. He doesn't seem to notice food if I
sprinkle it on top - only when my fingertips break the surface and hold
the food for him will he believe there is something to eat.

I'm not keen on getting another finicky eater like an ADF. What I need
is a lungfish that I can train to go get his own food out of the fridge.
