Can Angelfish coexist in a 20G with a Dwarf Puffer or even with a Spotted Green Puffer??

Face up make your stand and realize your living in the golden Years

First, I personally think a 20g is too small for an angelfish.

Most likely the angel would be a target of nipping for either type of puffer.

I agree a 20g is pushing it for an angel and all puffers are likely fin nippers. At first it may work fine but eventually the puffer will be too tempted by those fins and the angel might get big enough to try to eat the puffer. That could end up with death on both parts.

Green spotted puffers are brackish water fish and eventually need nearly full saltwater to live out their lifespan. Given correct conditions some have lived as long as 15-18years. Ask their lifespan at any store that tells you they are fully freshwater fish and you'll probably get told somewhere around 3-5years instead.

thanks guys

20g is too small for the angel, as they need at least a 30g (preferably tall) In addition to that Puffers are aggressive and mean despite their cuteness.

Inky

Also, GSPs get borderline too big for a 20 as well. Id go with the dwarf puffers.
