Hello some advice please ??
Hello, I have kept fish for quite a few years but am fairly new to puffers. I have an emerald puffer (common puffer) and 2 figure of 8s. They are in a 35 gallon freshwater tank that is planted and has lots of rockery and caves. They seem okay together and keep themselves to themselves. The question is do you think they are going to remain okay together? Can different species of puffer be mixed in together ? Thanks !!!!

Do you know the species name of your "Emerald/Common" puffer?
The 35g is good for the 2 F8s, they need to be in brackish water though.

The cutcutia is a FW fish & will kill your F8s.
