Arrow-head Puffer

I Have One, Just Bought It A Month Ago, And Mine Has Plenty Of Tank Mates. I Have A Brazilian Puffer, A Spotted Puffer, Cobalt Blue Cichlid, And 2 Other Cichlids In The Tank, Oh, A Bamboo Shrimp, Numerous Ghost Shrimp(food) And A Bristle Nose Pleco. All Seems Fine With My Arrow Head Puffer, He Leaves The Others Alone, But Did Take A Chunk Out Of My Finger When I Was Doing Maint. On The Tank.

If the spotted puffer is a GSP, it does not belong in FW, it should be in brackish.

A month is not very long in the life of a puffer, especially if it is immature. Come back and tell us about the tankmates when the fish is adult. If the other fish is a GSP, the same applies - if it lives that long in FW or ever grows up.
