puffer in a community tank??

[P8ntballer52]

Hi everyone. So I have a pretty much have community tank. It's a 29gal. With about 10 fish in it now. I have a few semi aggressive. Red tail shark, angle fish.

Would Be able to add a puffer? Or no? Too aggressive? To small of a tank?

Both. Puffers are not community fish, and with 10 fish already in there, 29 gallons is too small anyways. I remember keeping a red-tailed shark in a 20 gallon when i was young... not I'm well aware they need 50+ gallons.

Yeah I kinda figured. I figured it would be too aggressive for what's in there.


The red tail is only about 1.5 in now.

No, as cute as they are, they are mean buggers.

I agree. TERRIBLE community fish. They also need brackish water.
You are going to have problems with your shark btw. They get nasty too and need a minimun of 55 gallons.
