Amazon puffer with F8 puffer and mollys

Post by Wesley90 »

I recently set up a 20 gallon long tank with 2 small amazons and 2 black Molly’s ,today I added a small figure 8 I’ve read that f8s need brackish water but I also read that they can live in fresh water for years with no problems ,
I havnt seen any aggression towards each other or the Molly’s I have 6 ghost shrimp in the tank hiding and the puffers seems like they are not interested in them but Occasionally they nip at them and they get away , ive also been feeding them blood worms witch they seem to love
I will continue to update you guys on the how the puffers get along with each other’s and the Molly’s

How did you cycle this tank?
Please do read these articles on the fish you are keeping:
