Different puffer

Post by Mex330 »

Hey guys I've had 2 dwarf puffers but recently one died :( the other is still kicking just fine though. But I've been wanting to try my hand at other puffers. What other ones would you guys recommend? Thanks

What, in the same tank as the DP? None, apart from another DP

Yes don't mix puffers. Another dp will be fine tho
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

How large is the tank? Check our Pufferpedia for ideas.
