The Puffer Forum

I have just started researching puffer fish and am interested in getting a freshwater or brackish puffer. I have a 19 gal aquarium that i would house it in. Are they're any good puffers for this size aquarium. It would most likely be kept alone with no other fish.

There are several that you could have in a tank that size.

For freshwater you could have a group of dwarf puffers, a single SAP or there are a few other smaller puffers.

For brackish, a single Figure 8 would be perfect.

Dwarfs, figure 8's and green spotted puffers are the most commonly found in stores, but a green spotted puffer would get way too big, so don't get that kind.

Check out http://www.pufferlist.com for some descriptions, pictures and size requirements, that will help you narrow it down a little. Good job for researching first!

I'm closing this thread as it is duplicated in the General section:
