reseaching puffers

Post by Mel_d »

Hi all,

I have a tropical community tank and just recently I have fallen in love with the dwarf puffers I have seen in my lfs. I currently have my eye on a 48 litre tank on ebay. I really don't have the room for any larger. So.... I am beginning to research this little fish. My questions are:

1) how many would I be able to keep in a 48 litre

2) What male to female ratios would I need?

3) Are there any bottom feeders that they would be compatible with?

Many thanks

Mel

You could have 3 in that tank. Tank holds 12.7 us gallons so 5g for the first dp and 3 us gallons each for the other 2 dps. Probably best to get all females since you can only get 3.
