, what temp is best to have for these fish?
This link will answer most of your questions.I plan to have one SAP in 15g with lots of plants and scenery for it to interact with
You could try otto's but the puffer may eat them. It's a hit or miss thing.would ottos make ok tankmates for them?
Yes, You need 10x the turn over on your filtration. Puffer's are very messy eaters.do they need heavy filtration, im planing on running 2 internals
This could be a yes and no answer. Most puffer's will eat earthworms but I have a puffer that won't touch them. She is actually scared of the earthworms.do they eat earthworms?
I don't have an SAP but if I remember right they like to be schools. This is one of the few puffer's that you can keep in schools.would one in a tank be ok as long as i make it very interesting for them?
Yes all puffer's puff. Just don't make them do it, this will cause them stress. I have a stars and stripes that has puffed twice in a year. I think he just does it for fun.last one.... do they puff up?
i had a real hard time finding dwarf puffers in my area but have my hear set on a SAP i will work to make it as interesting in possible, with cover and plants ect If you read the link I posted, it saysspanerman wrote:Thanks, what you said about schools, thats a problem, as my tank is only 16 us gallons, which is only big enough for one from what i read
so one should be ok.These puffers require a heavily decorated aquarium. They are often seen pacing the aquarium glass if they do not have complex surroundings to explore. Introducing relativly strong current as well as upgrading the size of the tank might help in this matter
