Aquarium Advice Newbie
I am so interested in these cute little fish! I just have a handful of questions!
1. I have a 10gal tank and their full adult size is approx. 3/4"-1" - How many can I have in there before it gets too crowded for them? I've read a lot of differing opinions about how many should be kept together, but one of the only places I've found that sells them is on the internet, and they will only sell a minimum of 6 (Dwarf Pea Puffer).
2. Again, within the confusing information I've read, they can be aggressive and they can be peaceful - What are the best tank mates? I've been looking at an otocinculus as well as glass shrimp, however, I won't be able to get either or if I have to keep the puffers in a large group.
3. Do I need to have live plants in my tank, or will they thrive just fine with artificial plants?
4. The tank is currently freshwater, and I've read that the puffers are suited for fresh as well as brackish. Which is preferred to keep them the heathiest?
Thanks!
