Tank Mates?

[Ikkle1]

I've been given 6 Cherry Barbs and 6 Large Cardinal tetras.

Because i haven't got a spare tank to put them in, I've put them into Buffy's tank.
Two days now, and they all are still there, uneaten.

I think because they are "shoaling fish", Buffy leaves them alone.

Anyway, it's nice to see more movement in the tank.

What puffer is Buffy?

Some puffers will leave other fast moving fish alone as long as they are fed well. Its not uncommon to hear of the nice gentle puffer who hasn't killed his tankmates causing a bloodbath

Oh sorry, Buffy is a GSP. And he is v-e-r-y well fed

But those are all FW fish, in w/your BW puffer.

I had no alternative, at the time. but a fw tank being cycled as we write. They don't apear to be that bothered by the fact that it's bw.

It's OK for a short while in a low SG. As long as it's not permanent.
