	Puffers
amilner Big Fish Posts: 429 Kudos: 654 Votes: 0 Registered: 05-Jul-2004	My partner wants a freshwater puffer for our 2ftx15x18 tank. I've kept fresh for 10 and marine for 2 years but never ventured into puffers. Would this sized tank be suitable for a figure-8 or spotted puffer? Thanks

No tank mates for the GSP, but the F8s can have gobies with them, unless you get a mean one. You can never tell w/puffers! Both are brackish puffers. See: http://www.aaquaria.com/aquasource/8puffer.shtml http://www.wetwebmedia.com/BrackishSubWebIndex/gspsart.htm I'm sorry, you said FW, didn't you? You can keep a nice hoard of dwarf puffers, or 3 South American puffers, or a gamut of FW ambush predator type puffers (kept singly).
