    Hey Gents

    Can anyone help e out with more information on puffer fish.
    Are they aggressive what tank mates work with them

    Are they difficult to keep.

    I saw one in the pet shop and fell in love with it

    Cheers

    Pieter

    Yeah puffers don't play nice with others and can be picky eaters.

    And most species require brackish water in the long run.

    Puffers are a nice species only oddball.
    If you know what type you are dealing with (fresh/brackish etc), and keep them with their own kind, in a decent sized tank, with plenty of filtration they will be ok.
    And are actually very entertaining to watch.

    I currently have 4 kinds of puffer, 1 type fresh, 2 types brackish and 1 marine. So if you have any questions you can send me a PM.
