Tetraodon palembangensis. Humpback/dragon puffer?

Post by Chubb3r »

Hey guys! First time on the forum it looks great!
I currently have a 200l tank with 8 SAP's 5 rummynose 2 Aquatic dwarf frogs, 8 corys and 3 dwarf gouramis.
I get that some of those combos aee not supposed to work aha but all of my water levels are fine and the finish live in harmony!
However ive recently been looking into getting a dragon puffer because. Well... they're adorable
I understand that they are ambush predators but realistically which fish would they hunt and which would they probably not bother?
Thank you all!

[welcome]
I'm afraid your tank is horribly overstocked! Just because parameters are "fine" (for now) & everyone is getting along harmoniously, doesn't mean they aren't extremely stressed, causing lowered immune systems & much shorter lifespan. Imagine living your entire life in a crowded room. :(

As far as ambush predators, they cannot live with ANY tank mates.
