Dog Face and Porcupine in same large tank

Post by uga »

I have a large Black Dog Face (8") and a small Porcupine (3") in the same tank 500 gallon tank. They seem to get along, but the Dog Face appears to be pouting. Could he just be sad that he has to share space with the Porcupine. The Dog Face is eating fine, but not as aggressively as he did before I introduced the Porcupine.

They'll be fine. They might pal around soon too.

Wow, your tank sounds awesome. I just saw 3 baby (2") porcs with a 5" Dogface at a LFS and they were really cute together so it's neat to hear about your set up. :) We'd love to see some pics of them!
