South American Puffers are community friendly and stay relatively small, but need usual dentistry. Good luck!

Don't keep south americans with fish that have long fins/tail- they will pick them apart (mine tortured some angelfish- rehomed the angels). Mine have also killed plecos- not common but mine are a little weird.

hopefully my ABK will hide and my killies would they be ok?
