I have a 60l brackish water aquarium with 1 sailfin pleco 1 green spotted ouffer and 3 sailfin mollys im looking to upgrade my tank too a 200 litre+ would this be suitable for another puffer and are there any chicilids that do well in brackish water?

Green spotted puffers are highly aggressive and do best alone. That being said, plecos are freshwater and the mollies will have their finns nipped. The yellow chromid is a brackish water cichlid but I would not add it to your tank.

Okay thanks and will my pleco be okay then cause the store sold it me with the puffer and salt ? :/

You will need to get the pleco acclimated back to freshwater and he will need a large tank.

I cant make it freshwater cause of my puffer does this mean ill have to get rid of the pleco ?

You need to get rid of the pleco or get a new tank.

You really can't keep any fish with green spotted puffers
