35 gallon...

Post by topoftheline »

I have a 35 gallon with some fish in it that I am getting rid of. One male krib 8 black skirt tetras 5 albino cories 2 angle fish a clown pleco and a BN pleco. I am wondering what puffer (FW preferably but I'm willing to try BW) would be able to live in it with the krib (if by ANY chance possible). I would also like it to be active and an entertaining eater...

Thanks
Mike

Tank mates are really hit or miss. If you want to house only a puffer, you could do a GSP (BW to full SW as an adult) 2 or 3 figure 8 puffers (low BW), a few SAP's (FW) or up to 7 dwarf puffers (FW).

I wouldn't mix kribs with puffs. Most of the time puffs like to control all of the tank (as in they like to investigate) if you have a male krib thats made a nest waiting to find a mate the kribs going to go at the puff and the puff may end up fighting your krib.

Breeding snails would be far better than breeding guppies. F-8s are not fish eaters, they are snail, clam, crab, etc, eaters.
