Aquarium Advice Apprentice
In other words, the Amazon Puffer...anybody have any good tips/stories on these guys? I've been wanting a puffer for quite a while and these seem to be the most peaceful of them all. 9/10 websites say they will do well in a community tank with fish that can hold their own, however the 10th site says they must be kept by themselves. I also read they must have a daily intake of snails to keep their teeth trim....however only on one website, as all the others suggested bloodworms, brine shrimp, etc.
My tank seems to meet all the criteria for them however: 20 gal, planted tank with only 3 other fish: Tiger Barb, Dwarf Gourami, and pleco. Nobody has fancy fins to nip at and there are lots of places to explore!
I'd really like to pick this little guy up this weekend, so any advice/warnings/stories would be appreciated!
