Picked up a Tetraodon leiurus yesterday, known as the Target or Twin-Spot Puffer. put him in a highly planted 55 gal with a couple of rainbow fish and a siamese algae eater that i really don't care for but the girlfriend likes them. It's fair to say he didn't take too nicely to having tankmates as fifteen mins after he went in he took a massive chunk out of a rainbow (unbelievably when i fished the rainbow out it was still alive!) and so now he's on his own. Anyone got any experience of them and if they can be kept with tankmates or their own?
