What is the minimum tank size for pea puffers?
Thanks
Thanks

George9 said:A ten gallon for one would probably work fine. What other fish are in there?

Dylan5359 said:Back to tank size, 5 gallons per fish. (besides the fact they need some decent swimming room they are also VERY messy eaters) It may be hard to determine sex in juveniles so stocking them according to gender may be a little difficult. Most differences occur with age, so it may be in your best interest to purchase an older specimen. There are some stories of males fighting to death during breeding season.
