I have a Drawf/Pigmy puffer in a community tank which he and friends have lived for a year happily (occasional fin nipping but to no harm), but I took on 2 Congo Tetra's from a 60 ltr tank (knowing it probably would't work) in hope that they would get along and enjoy the extra space.

As much as people rant that Fahaka's like no other fish I've seen a few videos of red tailed sharks/pleco's, convict cichlid's and even loaches in with the Fahaka, and seeing that my fahaka is only 2 inches I wondered if any one had tried the combination finding a drawf and fahaka getting along.

I know the books say you can't - but has anyone tried

Cheers all
 
You can't for one main reson, a fahaka needs a tank much larger than a 60 litre. generally a 4x2x2 is the minimum recommended.
Sorry I was a bit confusing. Fahaka's in a 120ltr at the moment till he gets bigger
 
A dwarf puffer with a fahaka :crazy:

someones been at the sherry i think ;)

lol nuff said - oh well the congo's will have to put up with the odd fin nip or choose to go back to there little tank if they can't stand up for themselves. Cheers for the posts guys!!!
