DP tankmates?

[Saucy]

Ok, so I'm getting twice as many female bettas as I thought I was from a breeder, so I'm trying to figure out what I can do with some of my fish. My dwarf puffer, Godzilla, is in a 5-gallon with 4 snails. I have two white-skirt tetras in my sorority tank and I'm wondering if they're going to be too much a hassle to put in with my DP. I'd really prefer not to get rid of them, but if they won't do well together, then I've got to do it. I know they'll go to a good home.

Thanks, all!

Sorry, nothing can go with a DP.

well, according to one website, they can be kept with "Otocinclus" and "Ghost shrimp"

I assume that the "kept" with ghost shrimp meant "Kept with lunch?" Seems to be what happend in my DP tank!

it might be pretty hard, unless you get a new/bigger tank since the DP is used to dominating his domain. When I wuz putting together my freshwater tank, I put all the barbs and plecos in first. Waited till they got nice and settled then I added my 5 DP's. Give them places to hide, or at least break up the line of site and you should be fine. I even have a tiny male guppy that hitchhiked in a bag of shrimp from my LFS that's lasted in that tank for the last 8 or 9 months so far. I thought the DP's or barbs woulda snuffed him by now

the thing is puffers have beaks. they can do massive damage with little force. mabye u can try a divider.
