porc puffer...help please

Post by iluvpuffers »

I have had my 3" porc puffer for about a month now and in the last week he has bitten chunks out of my copperbanded butterfly and my clown. They are both dead now. Puffer is all that is left in the tank. Any suggestions on what fish I can add that he wont eat?

A territorial puffer, if the mood strikes, can kill pretty much anything you house with it.
No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.

If he's in a big tank go with triggers and tangs and wrasses. Otherwise he should be kept alone.
