Tank mates?

Post by krustylloyd »

Hi our tank has cycled and we are getting a porcupine puffer who we collect next week, we have also reserved a snowflake eel. Could you advise on other tank mates we could get which would be ok with our puffer.
Thanks

What size tank? Both of the fish you mention contribute extremely high bioloads.

Hi our tank is 120 gal with a trickle tower filter thats power by a high powered pump and a good skimmer, we only want 2 other fish we are hoping that we could put dwarf angel or something of that size.

That's about it for stocking then. I suggest adding a sump/refugium too.
