Dwarf Puffer

What fish are good with these mini freshwater puffer fish? They are so cute! They dont even look like they have tails! Are they hard to maintain?

 

Puffers don't really mix well with anything really. Things with medium to longer fins will get nipped by the puffers and they can get pretty nasty with other fish. Also, you have to feed them snails every now and again to file down their little "beak". Usually they are best kept in smaller species tanks.

I've always wanted one though :roll:

 

aww ok thanks for the tips!!

Im printing out pictures with info about each fish with prices that we might get. As soon as we've figured out exactly what we are ordering I am gonna post up the list that way you guys can tell me if im making the right choices

:y_the_best:

 

sure we would be glad to help

 

Sounds good! Keep in mind with your kribs though that unless you get two females they probably will decide to spawn :roll: and that can get ugly. Also for a 55 keep no more than two or else they will get into territory disputes.

 

If i can, i want to talk to my girl about just getting all female fish, that way they arent as agressive or territorial.
I really dont wanna worry about little fry swimmin around.

 

LOL! That's kind of what I did with my guppies. All the girls in one tank, all the boys in another! I want to get a little sign that says "No boys allowed" to put in the ladies tank, I just think it would be cute :roll:

 

heheh thats cute. I might put a rainbow shimmering decal on the tank and make it females only.

NO BOYS ALLOWED tee hee :lol: :m41:

 

So, just out of curiosity... who are we talking to? Heather or Nicole? Or is it a mixture of both... I've been wondering, I wanna say Heather, but how can you really tell lol!

 

It's just me (Heather) posting, I just put Heather&Nicole cuz its both of us workin on the fish tank. We both put our own input together when i post a question

 

Ah ha! I'm psychic :mrgreen:

 

Good job tina! :y_the_best:

 

these gutys are very aggressive and should be kept in species tanks.5-20g

 

Thank you!!

I saw in your tag it said "coming soon snakehead" They are illegal here in maryland to sell..where are you getting yours from?

 

How big do they get?

 

im gettign my from 1 of my many LFS. they arent cheap fish too. im in NJ and im pretty sure there not illegal in NJ. the snakeheads the store has are like 15" as soon as u buy them. im getting a dwarf snakehead and like all dwarf fish they dont get as large as the other kind of that fish. EX: Dwarf Gourami Gold Gourami. Dwarfs dont get as large. the dwarf snakehead is going into my 40g. its a perfect size.
