The Puffer Forum

i went to my local pet store 2 days ago and saw these little cute guys..
i got 3 for my 60 liters community tank without having any idea of what was going to happen..
today i am planning to return them back as it is my mistake that i didn't do any research from
the beginning about their aggression to other fish..truth is that i am really disappointed and wanted
to ask you, if i try to keep only one, the least aggressive, as i saw only one of the three being aggressive will i solve
my problem, or i need to get rid al of them?.I have ( 4 neon tetras, 1 otos, 4pristella maxillaris and 4 red noses).

Welcome to the forum. You will experience aggression with even one dwarf puffer.

If it were me, I'd keep the otos, get rid of the others & keep the 3 puffers! Of course, you'd have to sex them.

If you take PP's advice see if you fish store will buy back your other fish. Some will give you 1/3 credit and you could always use that. Just keep in mind that DPs need a little extra care as you can see in the articles she posted.
