I have a new 20 gallon tank, just wondering if a figure 8 puffer would be happy in this? I would slowly change it to brackish, and make sure that the tank has many places for him to explore. And would he be ok with eating snails, shrimp, and krill?
Thanks!! these guys are soooo darn cute!
 
Sure, 20g is perfect.

Not really destroy them but will bite circles into them looking for snails. Not too many live plants you can keep at 1.005. What were you considering?
 
I LOVE my Figure 8 Puffer. He's got such a great personality. As soon as I enter my room he swims right up to the front of the tank to greet me. Then starts begging for food. It's very hard to resist giving him food every time he begs for it but I don't give in. They are truly awesome Puffers and you won't be let down with one of them.
 
Borgey what is ur setup for him if u don't mind telling? And pufferpunk I was thinking java ferns..
"Most will get along with cospecifics and other smaller brackish water tank mates, like gobies and small species of mollies (Be wary of larger mollies — I’ve seen Figure 8’s bullied by Sailfin mollies"
is that true?
 
Nah, I just needed to take up space in my article. ;)
 
Haha seriously? Will my puffer kill mollies or will the mollies beat him up and get revenge lol ;)
 
That was just the sailfins who terrorized my F8s, regular mollies lasted some time but eventually got eaten..
