Puffer recommendation please!

[abortedsoul]

We would like to set up a 15 gallon freshwater tank. We've checked **************.com, and we've found a puffer that seems to fit what we're wanting. It is called Colomesus asellus (South American Puffer), and we were wondering if anyone has had any experience with this fish.

Any recommendations? Anyone know where to get some sweet puffers? Tankmates? Is there a cooler FW puffer out there?

Thanks,

-Matt & Ashley

P.S.- Are there any fresh/brackish puffers that have a really awesome personality? In general, at least, as individuals vary. Let us know if you know of any. Thanks!

get a couple of dwarf puffers make sure you feed them snails and hard shelled stuff

I've heard that dwarf puffers can be really aggressive; I like that, but they stay so tiny!

dwarf puffers are one of the coolest puffers even if they stay tiny. i considered them as one of the monster fish.

You can keep a single Figure 8 in there. Lots of personality & great colors.

At 15 Gallons you dont have a lot of room for many tank mates. Dwarf puffers are fin nippers but are awesome little fish.
