Marcelo Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 (edited) Hi All, Wife wants a puffer. I have been reading about them but as there are many species I am a little bit confuse about if I can have one or many and which one I could have. This is my setup: 40 gal planted tank with injected CO2 (pic attached), 2 angels, 8 Rasbora Harlequins, 8 neons, 10 Tetra Lemons, 3 k. loaches. pH 5.5 to 6.8. No shrimps, no snails .. maybe 1 or 2 Nerites that I haven’t seen since weeks 😆 Is it possible to have 1 or more puffers with these fish and tank ? thank you very much !!!!!!!!

Flumpweesel Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 (edited) This is a really good overview of the freshwater puffers. https://www.aquariumcoop.com/blogs/aquarium/top-10-pufferfish They pretty much all can be fussy eaters and aggressive so you will probably have to consider a separate tank for your puffer Edited July 22 by Flumpweesel Spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I don't know a thing about puffers, but I do know a gorgeous tank when I see one. That sir, is a gorgeous tank! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is probably a great place to start. I looked. Can't find it. Joel and Cory did a tank for these guys. It's unlisted so now the search tools don't work or I just can't figure out the right words. I was trying to recommend the Schoutedenti Puffer.
