Puffer Fish

[RobGoldsmith]

Hey

My local Shop has pufferfish as seen here - http/animal-world.com/encyclo/fresh/Puffers/Pufferfish.php

Would they be ok in a community aquarium? The shop owner said no, but i keep reading how they dont know anything haha.

Love to hear if i could have one!

How big is your tank?
What else do you have in the tank?

 

[RobGoldsmith]

neons, platty, corry cats and minnows right now. 25litre wall mounted

Your takn is much too small and everything in the tank would probs get eaten. If you want Puffers, remove all the fish in your tank and only keep 5 Dwarf Puffers in it, with no other fish

that looks like a mbu puffer if so it needs atleast 150 gallons as they grow over 30 inches long
