Pea Puffer Tank Mates

[ogelthorpe]

Hey everyone,

I've got 3 pea puffers in a fluval flex 9 and all is going great! Was thinking about changing my substrate from gravel to sand and maybe adding some kuhli loaches. Do you think this would work? I've heard it might be best to keep them in a species only setup but would love to have some sort of bottom dweller and the kuhli loaches seem pretty great! Any advice is appreciated!

pretty sure they can only be kept by themselves

I wouldn't keep kuhlis in a 9 gallon regardless of tankmates. They need a group in a tank at least 2 feet long.
