But any species of puffer would have trouble with mollies. Nice long fins that are asking for a biting. Last edited by djtj at 11-Aug-2005 13:11

I forget whether or not the tetratoxin remains on said fish in the home aquarium, but neither outcome will be good. Last edited by Cup_of_Lifenoodles at 11-Aug-2005 15:10
