The Puffer Forum

I'm about to get a 30 - 50 gallon tank. I am going to get a gsp for sure and i am perfectly happy with keeping it by itself. But I recently found an interest in the snowflake eel and wanted to know if the eel would hurt my puffer or vice versa. I would appreciate all the help anyone could give me. I'm a somewhat new to the aquarium hobby but have done a lot of research on the gsp. Oh and if they could go together i would of course wait until i had acclimated the puffer to full salt water before i got the eel. I just wanted to know if they would get along. Thanks for the help.

30g is the minimum for a single puffer. If you want more fish, you're going to have to go bigger. 75g minimum for an adult snowflake & they are marine fish.

Also have a look here for a similar question:

Snowflake eels grow faster than GSPs and will potentially make a snack out of it one day, which could end tragically for both, when the puffer is stuck in the eel's mouth.
