NinjaMask Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I really like these small puffers and would love one for a nano. What is the minimum tank size suggested? I used to have one that was pretty hardy in a 60 gallon, but what would you say is the minimum. Also, what corals/ other fish are they compatible with? All help is appreciated. I love these li'l guys. Link to comment
Nanomaniac Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 They will almost certainly cause harm to any invertebrate within the system, corals seem to be hit or miss with these fish. Most fish would be compatible tank mates for the Puffer, just keep an eye on them at first. I wouldn't house one in anything smaller then a 30 gallon system. Link to comment
jestep Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 30 - 50g would be the minimum IMO. If they're well fed, you have a decent chance of them ignoring coral, but small snails such as colonistas and sessile inverts likely have little chance of surviving with them in a tank. They're compatible with any fish that won't bully them. If you get a valentini, make sure it's a puffer as they have a mimic filefish that looks very similar. Link to comment
