New tank and first experience with puffers

Post by Blu-skY »

Hi All,

I'm at the first experience with pufferfish.
I've got a tank of 24 gal quite ready to use with fishes.
The tank have this configuration:
1. external filter 200 l/h
2. Heater jalli titanium 200w
3. dimensions: 80x30 cm height 40 cm

I want to introduce some pufferfishes with this caratheristics:

1. not so big;
2. more than one puffer;
3. It will share the tank with other pacific fishes;
4. I prefer a central america biotope because I like to introduce my old platy and corydoras

At this moment that's all I need info to by rock, plants and other objects.

Thank you

Hello Blu-sky and welcome to The Puffer Forum. I think you might be out of lucky as far as puffers are concerned, they don't tend to play nice with other fish. Community tanks are hit and miss usually miss. If you do want to go with a puffer only again you are quite limited due to tank size. For fresh water you could have a few dwarfs or with brackish a Figuer Eight. There are a few others, check out the PufferPedia for lists of different puffers and their tank requirements.
