The Puffer Forum

Hello

I have a 200 gallon I was hoping to fill, so i was wonder if any one has any of this guys Monotrete Abei "Abei" or Monotrete Baileyi 'Hairy' puffer. i see there tanks needs are not that great i was hoping to keep some together. My plan was to have a abei and hairy together. if that is not a go idea maybe two abei together or two hairy together. dose anyone know if one of thid combs will work

Bad idea, IMO, both ate extremely aggressive (& expensive_ species. Waste of space in such a large tank too, since they really only need ~30g & stay buried most of the day.

Hi, we have an Abei and I wouldn't put anything else in the tank with it that I didn't want it to eat. George is rather aggressive and will attack the siphon, my hand, anything new put in his tank (plants have bite marks on the leaves!).

I have and Abei and he is VERY mean! He has bit me twice and tried to eat a snail almost as big as him. Anything you put in the tank will be thought of as food, hands included. Good luck on the puffer hunt.

Hi, I have both an Abei and a Hairy puffer. I would not suggest keeping either fish with any other living thing, be it puffer, fish or crab. You might get away with some snails, but the Abei would probably eat those too.

**if it's any help to you, I currently keep a suvattii and a Palembang (Humpback puffer) together, but I would only try this if both are young puffers**
