Puffers that can live in groups?

Post by mcaquatic »

HI
I have a 60 x 14 x 50 inch tank that I want to use for puffers. I used to have a fahaka that was amazing many years back and would love to get another but this tank is too tight. Other then the south american puffer are there any other puffers with some size that can live together groups? How about the schoutedeni? If not any suggestions for a solitary puffer for this tank with some size, personality and activity?

thanks

Only puffer I know that PREFER to live in groups are the South American puffers. Figure 8s can live in a group, as can GSPs & Ceylons.
