New guy with some questions
hey everyone, glad a forum like this is a thing, so i have a 20 long tank, i have been slowly setting up, i am stuck between 2 choices for what fish to put in it, one i was considering was red eye puffers, so i was wondering because i have seen a few different things and i just want to get more voices, is a 20 long big enough for a pair of red eye puffers and what tank mates can i run with them, does anyone know any good breeders or sources for them?

Re: New guy with some questions
so it seems what it says is to either keep a single one or 1 male to 4 females which then needs about 40 gallons to hold, so given the information written on this page is it safe to say you cant just keep pair?

I think more is better to prevent 1-on-1 aggression.
