dwarf puffers picking on Otos

[jennstrange]

my pack of 4 dwarfs are picking on the otos.. they ate their eyes and fins.. hmmmm... are there any fishes i can put with my puffers?

Mostly, no.

We have succesfully kept bristlenose plecs with dwarfs, but it depends on the individual temprements of the puffers, and it sounds like you have four little demons.

My sa puffers are with a betta & one if fine with it but the other steals it's food but there is no fin nipping.

as sir minion said, sometimes dp's will be okay with certain fish (usually slower moving fish that don't attract their attention....). i did try a bristlenose plec with mine, and in the three days she was in there she had her fins nipped and i moved her quickly. yours sound like a real pack, and therefore, i wouldn't chance putting other fish in there with them.

thanks... i guess i'll just live with what i have. 4 puffers is plenty of entertainment for me. also feeding them snails is very amusing ... mmmmm.. snails.
