I've got a 75 gallon tank I'm considering adding a spotted congo puffer to but it currently houses java loaches. I know spotted congos are typically considered safe options for community tanks, but I was wondering if anyone knew if they could specifically be kept with java loaches? I'm worried their body shape may make them seem like a food option.
 
Never done it myself. But seen otherA with schoutedni with other fish. Mixing a puffer with other fish is always risky.
 
The mix should be fine, but there is no saying the puffer won’t attempt to eat the loach, thinking it’s a worm.
Amazons are a better choice if you want a community puffer. Mine got harassed by giant danios.
