keeping F8 and glass fish

Post by andigopuffpuff »

i was contemplating putting glass fish (Chanda ranga) with my F8. they are a brackish fish much to my suprise. i wanted to know if anybody knows generally how large they get as i have seen max size 2 inches and also max of 3. i have also read they are peaceful and possible fin nippers. i do not know how well they would react to a puffer or the puffer react to them. if i were to get any i would get a maximum of 3 depending upon projected size.

any comments or input is greatly appreciated. thank you :)

Well, I believe you'll not have any problems keeping all together. I kept mollies with a F8 without any stress. There are many people who put F8s and bumble bee gobies in the same tank. I guess you should have this experience!
