Not any, I don't think. :( There are puffers that would be compatible, but not from the biotope's area.

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."

How much actual water volume is in there? How much swimming room?

The aquarium is 48 long, 19 inches tall, and 13 inches wide and filled up to 14 inches so actual swimming volume is about 30 gallons. There will be 5 congo tetras.

No room for a puffer then. Stick with a school of corys & another school of tetras.
