Amazon pea puffers and angelfish
Amazon pea puffers and angelfish
I was wondering if Amazon pea puffers and angelfish could get a long together in 55g aquarium, its heavily planted with and has lots of driftwood and hiding places. I mainly want to use the the puffers as snail maintenance and they could later be moved to their own 40g. I'm not worried about bioload or filtration as for now my 55g is getting a little over 3 1/2 times the filtration it needs.

Re: Amazon pea puffers and angelfish
Pea puffers don't come from the Amazon, they come from Asia. They only eat snails the size of their eye--that's really tiny!

any puffers will probably nip the fins of the angelfish relentlessly

Definitely not ! It would be really bad for the angel fish his fins would be tor pea puffers should only be in pea puffer tanks it’s good that you asked before you put it together {like eieio said}

They crush them or just suck out the meat?

Re: Amazon pea puffers and angelfish
My pea puffers have eaten some pagoda snails of substantial size. No shell damage, just sucked out the meat. I thought they would be much to big although unfortunately I was wrong.
