Puffer Compatability Question

[RobD23]

Would I be able to put a Porcupine Puffer with a blue hawiian toby puffer? You think the Porcupine would give the toby trouble?

 

[Pufferpunk]

Don't do it. The larger puffer will pick on the lil guy. How big is the tank?

as long as the porcupine hasnt been in the tank too long it should be fine i have a hundred gallon with a porcupine a dogface and blue spotted toby and they get alon jus fine

 

[Pufferpunk]

I can tell you that tank will not be large enough when (& if) those 2 larger puffers reach adult size. Quite a lot of bioload rpoduced by them too. Difficult to keep nitrates at acceptable levels, without a serious, large fuge going.

May work when small but unless ya getting a big tank later dont bother.

And so many "plan" on upgrading in the futire, then life happens & the fish are cramped, polluted & short-lived.
