Blue Ribbon Eel with Green Spotted Puffer?

Post by GSPufferGSP »

Just wondering if this could be done and if it would be a good mixture if possible.

Those eels in general have an extremely poor captive success rate. I'd leave them alone. That being said, I'd never put a sedentary fish with a GSP.

Eels and puffer mixed dont tend to work. Eels often end up with bits missing
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

You'd need a pretty large tank for a snowflake. They grow 2' long & as thick as your wrist.

Keep in mind if the eel gets large enough it may eat the puffer killing them both, don't do it.
