From the behavior I've seen today, the Puffer could care less about the shrimp. She's been pecking at snails and algae or greeting me at the front of the tank. The only time she's been near the shrimp was when I first introduced her and when she swims past the shrimp. Along with that the shrimp is currently about 10x longer than the Puffer, being at least 25x larger by volume.Nice, I'd be very very surprised if the dwarf puffer doesn't bite him to death though; I'd keep a very close watch on his fans![]()

It was a lot more work to aquascape and get running than I imagined, but the result was worth it. I think I have a good mix of fish to look at. The shrimp gives me something interesting to watch, the tetras color, and the Puffer personality. Together they all compliment the plants too.That's good news, I'm not trying to be a kill joy btw; just being honest I'm my experiences with themtanks looking good btw

I'm not as happy with the baby tears though... They're growing extremely slow and are very messy. I would rather have something that grows faster and has slightly larger leaves, but I already spent the money in the plants, I can't return them, and I'm not throwing them away. Hopefully that will change in a couple weeks once they get settled in.
Quick update, sponge added to prefilter for shrimp babies; and swapped Anubias for some hottonia palustris. Just need time for this to grow in!
