Ta Sue.

and you're right Donna, it doesn't help  :(  My big male definitely looks like the picture of T. travancoricus, except he doesnt sparkle like the one in he pic, he's completely dull.

curious and curiouser

PK has 2 articles on them but they both use the same stock photos.

I've also found conflicting advice about tooth care, some say they need to wear their teeth down on snails and some dont. However I have noticed when I feed them snails they don't actually bite the shell, they just eat the part protruding from the shell which makes me think that actually they don't need snails in their diet.

I'm fairly certain, after watching the tank today, that my 2 largest puffers are dull males (aren't they all  ;) ). They did a bit of puffing and circling today. I have 3 females and at least 2 of them are iridescent. I have at least 1 large and 2 young iridescent males. That accounts for 8 out of 11.
When mine eat snails they suck them out of the shell. I have noticed that if I don't feed them snails regularly they do get bits of food, or bits of fluff or something, stuck on their mouths. When I asked Steve he said that it happens with his South American Puffers when their beaks need trimming. I think perhaps it's that snails are just tougher meat than bloodworms, rather than the snail shell keeping the beak down.
I've given up on telling the difference between types, so I'm just labelling them all as "adorable".  ;D
