Aquarium Advice Regular
Hello hello hello,
I have recently been admiring dwarf puffers from afar, but am nervous about subjecting my community tank to one... I understand that they are nippy and solitary (when mature) and would like to devote a nano-tank (desktop?) to one.
I am looking at 3 tanks: a square 1.5 gal, a 2 gal mini-bow or a square 3 gal. Needless to say, all tanks would be heated, heavily forested, supplied with frozen food/pellets and cleaned very throrughly (I'm a neat freak) every Saturday. What is the minimum size a dwarf puffer (and the odd shrimp/snail to snack on) would be comfortable with? The smaller the better (as long as the puffer is happy).
Thanks for your input!
