Personality

Dwarf Puffers are very interesting, intelligent and active fish.  They learn to recognize their owner and will come to the glass to see what you're up to whenever you're in the room.  They also will beg for food (they even learn what the container looks like) or follow your finger around the glass.  If you put your hand in the tank, they will have to be right by it at all times.  It's as if they have to know exactly what you're doing!  You also have to be careful when siphoning water from the tank, because their curiosity will sometimes lead them a little too close to the siphon tube!  I've sucked one up a time or two and had to rescue them from the bucket!  These little guys have tons of personality and are by far one of the most fun fish to own :)
