Striped Puffer (Colomesus asellus) and Friends?

Post by MatthewLaw »

i am interested in putting this puffer into my 60g! Currently there are 6 tiger barbs in there, and i read that this puffer gets along along well with TBs. I am considering a convict cichlid and rainbow shark. Will this puffer do well with these fish? Any experience and/or advice would be appreicated!!

Should work, all of those fish are fast and aggressive. Honestly the Rainbow may be the meanest. My Red Tail is aggressive but(Rainbows and Red tails) actually don't have teeth in the normal sense so are of little risk to the fish listed also it gets tired. Plus my Shartk doesnt charge for too long before going back to it's territory.
