The Puffer Forum

Hey guys

would a Monotrete Palembangensis be ok in a 55g comunity tank with fish like guppies, danios, tetras etc?

Thx

Lots of good food for that puffer to eat in there, if you don't mind losing all your fish.

Excellent variety of food u have in there! Sounds like a buffet!!

Yup sounds like a recipe for disaster. No puffer can really be trusted with anything. Maybe you would get lucky but unlikely matey

Monotrete Palembangensis = piscivore
piscivore = fish eater

+1 to most of the above comments. If there is a rule of thumb about puffers, it is that they are predators which are fully willing to be piscivores. If it is alive and meaty, it looks/smells/tastes like food to most puffers.

Puffers teach a lot of hobbyists that species tanks are as interesting if not more interesting than confetti tanks.

yea puffers in a community is kinda like dog fighting i guess to some, inhumane if you know they cant live with fish however i do like to experiment myself to find what my puffers personality is like and not just from what other people tell me. was thinking about geting a second 100g tank and maybe doing dogface puffer with a lionfish i see alot of saltwater lionfish with puffers on youtube videos, anyone know if theres a reason they are tolerable together? or is it just luck of the draw?

Please ask this question in the proper forum.
