Hello people I am from Brazil and I just bought 3 Colomesus asellus. They are amazing nice !
But I´d like to know if I could mix them with some Green Spotted puffers.
thanks.

The FW puffer species you have chosen to keep do prefer to live in a group. If you want more puffers, get more of that species. GSPs are extremely aggressive species & they need high-end brackish conditions to marine.
How large is your tank?

Thanks for reply.
Its 1,5m wide. What do you think about the Tetraodon Biocellatus (F8) ?
thanks.

F8 puffers are brackish fish. Puffers should not be mixed as problems almost always arise. Welcome to the forum

Agreession wise it might work, depends on the individual fish. But like the GSP the F8 needs brackish water. It is low end brackish but that doesn't mean the fish can be kept in fresh water long term.
