I am relatively new to fish keeping but my first tank has been successful for the most part although its only one fish. Anyways, I bought a 20g tank and am debating either putting a school of 8 or 9 tiger barbs in it or 2-3 dwarf puffers. Which one would be better to have? I have done research and found that you shouldn't mix the two, but a friend down the street has a 25g with a dwarf puffer, 6 tiger barbs, and an African Dwarf Frog; these don't sound like compatible fish, but he's had the same exact community for 2 years now and all that has went wrong was the death of a 7th tiger barb who didn't make it past the first month, which was probably due to water conditions. I know its not suggested but what do you guys think: Tiger barbs or dwarf puffers or both?
