The Puffer Diary Part 2

phew,I thought you were going to put them into a community tank (I was looking at your tank list, I missed the 35g puffer tank).
Lol, some guy on another board had 3 red eyes and put them into his community planted tank and they systematically went through each and every single one of his fish then start killing each other.
 
lol...That's how I started keeping fish, we got 3 Dwarf puffers for the community tank (on the advise of the lfs :rolleyes: )and they proceeded to shred everything with long fins that they could catch (including my wifes favorite Dwarf Gouramis). Rather than see them returned I adopted them as my own and have been adding to their ranks since.

p.s. i really should update my sig. I have another 35 gal set for the cutcutia.
 
Ahh yes, the mistake of putting puffers in a community tank. Very common mistake amongst newbies :(. One of my friends put a GSP in a 10-gallon tank (No salt and extremely small) and systematically killed every guppy he had in there. Not a pretty site.

Although about Dwarfs; some have had success keeping those in a community tank. A friend of mine (who has been keeping fish for some time) put 2 dwarfs in a 55-gallon community tank. It is important to note, all the fish were fast (i.e. Tetra neon’s) and very heavily planted... So far for about a year now, no problems

By the way, nice job on the revival
