Hello Everyone,
I just recently signed on to this forum but was very pleased with the amount of information available through everyone sharing so here I am as well :D . Anyway I currently have a 40 gal with 3 Asellus Puffers and was curious if I could eventually add any Dwarf puffers or would the DPs be killed by the Asellus Puffers.

Actually, it's the other way around. DPs are vicious!

Check out videos of dwarfs on YouTube. They're some little savages.

Plus I think the asselus's need that full 40 gal tank to swim (55 or 60 would please 3 of them most) because they live in rivers in nature and all they do is swim! The dwarf puffers need plants and hiding places, wich there isn't enough room for both habitats in a 40g with the 3 asellus already

And it's startling the size of fish that dwarf puffers have killed, really quite amazing how mean those tiny adorable pigs can be!
