I'm not sure if this has been asked, but can you keep anything with a Congo Puffer? If I get one, he'd be going into the 55 gallon I have sitting here... as I still have no idea what the heck I want to put in it!

I quote from the PufferPedia: "Very aggressive and usually attacks anything in sight". It doesn't sound like a room mate is a good idea.

Mine ate a larger pleco I put in there overnight. She seems to leave snails alone.

Number one on my wishlist for sure. It would be a solitary fish though

Mine lives together wit a 15cm labeo bicolor. For now it goes fine, but I keep in mind, she may be eaten some morning

they gut fish twice or three times bigger than them. even bigger sometimes...

... that's kinda like saying I couldn't see someone dieing from a baby rattlesnake bite. :lol:
