Puffer compatibility

[rajatariqmustafa15]

Guys this is my first thread here, wanted to ask you guys if puffer fish are compatible with small oscars angel fish catfish and blood parrot I don't know exactly high one but are they compatible? Any feed back would be appreciated and yes I forgot mono angel.
this is the exact type

They require brackish water so your mono is the only fish that would tolerate the salt needed to keep that puffer happy as it grows. They are also relentless fin nippers and will slowly pursue tankmates like a bad horror movie until their victim gets tired of running. Gsp are one of my favorite personable fish but they have very specific requirements and ime best kept alone. Very curious and fun creatures though

Puffers are best kept to themselves.

But can they be kept with these fish? If not why the shop keeper says u can

What brich said was correct. Green spots require heavier brackish water to pure sw as adults. I kept 1 with mono's, green scats, silvertip sharks and a couple "fw" morays and they worked great together.

No you cannot keep them with those fish. None of those are brackish and won't be able to handle the high salt levels

If you are comfortable with your other fish constantly being harassed and then slowly acclimated to salt water sure. Did you read a word I wrote? No they are not compatible. They need salt water as they grow. If you are set on one and dont want to keep it alone find brackish fish such as mono archers etc
