Dwarf Puffer question

[Ken_Allen]

Don't they need brackish water?

nope! not dwarves!

They are Freshwater Killers. I miss mine they made a long hit list over the year I had them.

How big do they get? I'm guessing not very big as "dwarf".

Could I put one in when I get rid of my Rainbow Shark?

 

[toodleypops]

the biggest ive seen was about two inches

viking155, so far mine has been the nicest dwarf puffer yet. It seems like its a crap shoot and I just got lucky with mine. I've read a few sucess stories but definitely a lot more horror stories. Hopefully nothing will change and my puffer fish will continue to get along with my whole tank.

I have to chime in with my 3 puffers are perfect angels and are more afraid of everything else then aggressive. they travel together with the peaceful fish they are with and only show aggression to snails! I have them in a 55g but think they liked the 20h better, still a debate what to do. anyways good luck!

Just curious, what are the gender of the three puffer fish?

Honestly, Id get him out of the tank with other fish. They really only do well with Otos. I wouldnt want to rish the lives of your other guys.
