What puffer for a 37 litre planted tank?

Post by Chrispy108 »

Hi,

After a few years away from fishkeeping I've got my hands on a 37 litre tank (10 US Gallons).

I'm really keen to get a pufferfish, as I've found them really interesting for years.

I'd also like a heavily planted tank, as they interest me alot.

Are puffers compatible with planted tanks? What would you recommend?

Thanks!

Sure, most of them are compatible, with only a couple of the larger species liking to tear up plants. Most puffers really like planted tanks. With the size of your tank, I'd reccomend dwarf puffers, who absolutely adore planted tanks. You can read up on them in the PufferPedia and the Puffer Library, which are both under the Learn tab at the top of the page.
"I will give you a talisman. 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."

Dwarfs would suit that tank! I'd stick to only two dwarfs and nothing else.... They are still one of my favourite puffers! And indeed they do love planted tanks!
