Tetraodon miurus

[scorp]

Hello everybody,

what to keep with a miurus? Haven't bought any yet, but somethig to clean up the mess or keep the glass clean would be nice.

Any experience/suggestions?

cheers

Absolutely no fish at all! They don't like snails, so you could try an apple snail but you'll have to feed it something. Let's see a pic!
Here's my Punkster:

thank you, I knew about the fish and a friend of mine has a miurus temporarily , also without fish. was just looking for anything that could eat the leftovers, in order to keep the water "clean/er".

so if I should get one, I will try snails

cheers

All puffers have unique temperments. PufferPunk apparently has one that will rip off your head if you look near the tank

I've kept a puffer in a community tank, but some people will advise against that. It all comes down to the temperment of the puffer. Some are nice, some are annoying fin-nippers, and others are nice.
