So I have a new 100gallon tank that I set up a few weeks ago. I have 10 albino lemon tetras, 10 cherry barbs, an apistogramma pair, a jewel cichlids pair, kribensis pair, a large black veiled angel a boesmani rainbow, a Parkinson's rainbow, a black ghost knife fish, a galaxy pleco, a dwarf blue ram cichlid pair, 4 albino Corydoras and the guy at the pet shop told me that 2 dwarf pea puffers would be fine in this community tank. DO NOT GET THEM FOR A COMMUNITY TANK! Every morning I find a new fish with its back fun gone and I see them going for even the big fish during the day but cant quite catch them or get fought back. From what I have read online I am guessing they ambush my fish in their sleep.
So I decided I needed to get them out of the tank. Easier said than done. In a 100gallon planted aquarium with a huge show log in it, it is almost impossible to get the little monsters out. I finally got one out with a big net I bought but there is still one left. Hopefully I can get him one day or at least I'm hoping with just one that he/she will be less aggressive until I can do something about it.
I just finished treating my tank for fun rot and ich and have the water perfect now I just need this fish out.
Don't put dwarf puffers in a community tank because they will eat all the fins from the other fish.
