Hi, I wanted to know if anyone has had success keeping pea puffer with Oscars of would they get eaten?
 
Do you think If I planted the tank and raised them together as juvenile would they have a chance at being fine together
 
If it don't fit now in time it will, and if it fits an Oscar will try to eat it.
Case in point, lived with them for eight months no harm no foul. Then finally Toni outgrew them and one became dinner

That's a Roseline shark hanging out of her mouth, not a slow fish by any measure. But trapped in a glass box it's only a matter of time.

Mbu puffers, if i remember right, can but will need a big tank.
 
8x3-4x2-2.5. Get up to 30in long if kept long enough.
 
If you really like puffers, maybe setup a dedicated tank for them... im almost sure you’ll enjoy them more that way compared to if you had to keep separating them coz of fights / problems breaking out in a single tank...
