The Puffer Forum

I had some guppies in the same tank as the puffer and he left them alone so I think I might just try him in my other tanks. I don't really have enough cash for another tank, especially since I just got the 55 gal.

I think i might try and then take him out immediately if there are any problems. The only other tank I have is a 20 gal. with a rainbowfish and some neon tetras. would that tank be better?

I 've read the posts about this topic already but i'm still not sure about this. The guy at my LFS was selling a "green puffer". He was keeping it in brackish water. I bought it and put it in a 10 gal. tank (it's about 2 inches right now) and added salt. If this fish is really a. modestus,...
