Hello people I am from Brazil and I just bought 3 Colomesus asellus. They are amazing nice !
But I´d like to know if I could mix them with some Green Spotted puffers.
thanks.

The FW puffer species you have chosen to keep do prefer to live in a group. If you want more puffers, get more of that species. GSPs are extremely aggressive species & they need high-end brackish conditions to marine.
How large is your tank?
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

Its 1,5m wide. What do you think about the Tetraodon Biocellatus (F8) ?
thanks.

Re: Mixing puffers...
F8 puffers are brackish fish. Puffers should not be mixed as problems almost always arise. Welcome to the forum
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Re: Mixing puffers...
Agreession wise it might work, depends on the individual fish. But like the GSP the F8 needs brackish water. It is low end brackish but that doesn't mean the fish can be kept in fresh water long term.
There are many knowledgeable fish keepers on this forum willing to help and give great advice...The advice is free; What you choose to do with it gives it value.
