My friend and I are shopping for fish on the net and on Aquariumfish.net there is one of these guyes. I want to buy one and put it with silver dollars and a ropefish in my 30 gallon. Will this work out?

 

[StingrayKid]

Oh yeah, it's listed in the puffer species thing above as South american puffer.

 

[Dwarfs]

Silver dollars will get way to big for a 30, even for a 55

 

[StingrayKid]

I heard they grow to their enviroment....

 

[Dwarfs]

NO FISH GROWS TO THEIR ENVIRONMENT!!!!! Their body stops but their organs don't so, DEAD FISH I'm sure the LFS employee told you that???

dwarfs, deep breaths, Goose Fraba, goose fraba.

All I can tell you is that most puffers are fin nippers, and aren't good tankmates, and that you wouldn't be happy in a small closet-sized room, would you?

 

[StingrayKid]

...Ummm no.... the LFS didn't telll me that dwarfs... I found that out on the internet. Thank you GodricPuffer for the info, I won't buy one.

 

[Dwarfs]

Sorry, I snapped

That's okay. I know they get pretty big so, I'm only keeping one of them and selling the rest when the get 8 inches. That is their adult size. I'm probably going to sell the rest.

Siver dollars are schooling fish. Having just one wil stress the fish. You need at least three.

catch 22.

 

[StingrayKid]

I plan on it. I know I'm keeping at least two, Sirminion. I hope to keep three.

I think SA puffers are supposed to be the least nippy.... mine certainly doesnt even think about it, he gets scared by my tetras!
