compatible tankmates
I was wondering if there is some species of puffers that can be housed together. I was thinking of a sap which I know from experience that is really peaceful but I would like what other types might work. I also wanted to know if different types of puffers get along from different species. ex. a red eyed with a sap. Thanks

Re: compatible tankmates
I dont know exactly what u meant, but:
DPs
F8s
they can both be housed with their own species given the right tank.

Re: compatible tankmates
As far as I know, different species of puffers usually don't get along. One user on here kept two GSPs and a stars and stripes together, and all got along swimmingly 
for a while, but eventually there were bullying problems. Also, many people keep GSPs and F8s together for a while, but then they have to be seperated because GSPs need higher salinities as they grow. Also, they usually stop getting along as they get older. Those are the only instances of cohabitation I've heard of, outside of pet stores.

Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."
