Yeah, I know that. Puffers are like that sometimes. Thing is, if it doesn't work out I have 20 Gallon tank that I was going to use for breeding. So I think I'm okay if they nip. So does anybody have any info on tank mates? Specifically speaking, not like they will attack bigger fish, as true in most cases with Carinotetraodon irrubesco. Specific! Also, does anybody know which type of filter would be best with a 75 Gallon tank? I know they need to be over powered... but anybody know?
If you have a puffer, and it's happy. Then you are a good person.

Some people say puffers are just a fish, they aren't just a fish, they're a living organism that actually has a mind! And we're killing them, just look at the video.

Stop it! Stop the pollution! Get a life and do something.

I prefer Aquaclear filters--the largest they have. Either 2 of those or 1 AC & a canister, like Eheim.

Thank you so much. Another quick question... would you suggest protein skimmers?

Well that's great! Now I don't have to spend another 100 Bucks!

Would you have more than 2 of these puffers in a tank?

Respond please.
