Hi, just a couple of days ago I decided to move my two Amazon puffers from a 25 gallon into my 50 gallon, that already has three 6'' roseline sharks and one 5" opal pleco. So far, they have been getting along fine. Do you think that they'll be alright together?

Can't help I'm afraid I haven't got any experience with any of those fish

All puffers are potential nippers. Also, this species has a very high requirement for snails, which will be hard to monitor in a large tank. In addition, with their constant dentistry problems it will be much harder to catch them for teeth trimming several times/year.

Thank you for the reply, it was very helpful. One of the puffers likes to chase the pleco, but neither puffer nips fins.
