Can somebody please exaggerate on the temperment of these puffers? Are they, like most puffers, unpredictable, or are they generally passive or aggressive? Thanks guys!

Re: Palembang Puffer Temperments
Seem to remember they have done alright with conspecifics, but not so well with other fish...
but you know you better wait for people who own them.
my professional opinion though:
Unpredictably passive aggressive.

Re: Palembang Puffer Temperments
Yeah, i think Unpredictably passive aggressive is the best way to put it... my palembang seems to tolerate his Tire Track Eel tank mate, but chuck in any other fish and its always ended up with the other fish dying within no more than about a month either from getting eaten, or from the bite wound...

Re: Palembang Puffer Temperments
As with all puffers, there are differences between the specimens. I would never keep anything together with my little Dragonfly. She is definitely so aggressive that everything else would have been killed straight away. I love her.
