Dwarf Puffer and?

Hi :) My LFS just got in some rosy loaches. They are super duper cute! I'd have to set up another tank if I want them, which is good because I would really like to have a dwarf puffer. I was wondering if a group of Rosy Loaches would be okay with a dwarf puffer in a heavily planted 5.5G?


Thanks!!

Loaches and puffers are generally not a good idea as the loaches will outcompete the dp for food. You will also be heavily overstocked. Welcome to the forum

That's too bad. Oh well. I guess now I will have to choose between a Rosy Loach tank and a Dwarf Puffer tank..

Aw, that's too bad. I just thought it might work since the Rosy Loaches are only 1" long, and stay that long. Oh well. Now I have to choose!
