T Miurus kept together?

Post by js97 »

I know it's a No No to keep puffers together.... but I have to ask..lol

is it possible to keep two T. MIrius together in a well planted tank (50g)? These guys seem to be less 'chompy' then their counter parts... but who knows.

anyone have success stories ( or horro ones to discourage me) I successfully keep an Abei and had a fahaka right now.

All I've heard are horror stories, no successes.

T. miurus is a very aggressive puffer, so there's not much hope of a success in keeping them together.
