  • Dwarf Puffer Tankmates

    What can I keep these guys in with ?

    I'm thinking some shellies to go with a couple of dwarfs you think they'll be okay ?

    I think that it has to be fast, so the puffers can't get it.
    Fish are people too, they just have gills.

      I'm actually more afraid of the other way around

          You can keep them with anything that dosen't have long flowing fins. They are still fin nippers.
          A house without a puffer is not a Home.

            I have dwarf puffers that tolerate only corys. Any other type of fish added to the tank would get picked on horribly. Good luck! :-)
