The Puffer Forum

Hi.

What kind of fish can you mix with a green spotted puffer/ figure 8 puffer?

Also, is there a type of plant that can be mixed with these types of puffers?

Thank you

Which puffer? They mix with different tank mates, depending on the puffer & conditions, since both species require different conditions. How big is the tank?

with the GSP. and I am in the process of an upgrade to a 75g. for now its the 20g.

my F8's just eat everything I chose to put in the tank

i put Java fern in, they peck it to death within 24 hours, I put in Java moss, they pull it apart and send it in the direction of the filter...

although they do seem to be getting bored with the moss so it may survive... maybe

Lots of plants will survive at SG1.003 at 25DegC, some will also survive up to SG1.005 at 25DegC. So F8's will co-habit with many types of plants but GSP's will not co-habit with them unless you're heading towards marine and want to use macroalgae.

I have only had luck with water sprite at 1.005...under dual 10,000K T5's
