I have a 125 gallon with a Oscar,Blood Parrot and a bocourti. They are all pretty laid back and thankfully not aggressive. I was wondering what puffer I could put in with them. In the next few months I plan on upgrading to a 220. Any suggestions would be helpful.
What puffer for my 125.

a puffer probaly wouldnt suit your tank well because depending on which speices your oscar could eat it. also their is a possibility that the puffer could eat the eyes out of your fish.
Yeah that would suck. My Oscar is only about 7 inches. Are there no puffers that are not super aggressive. I can always upgrade my tank so size is not that much of a problem.
im pretty sure that all puffers adecently agressive. i have a green spotted puffer and it is super agressive
There really are not any puffers that would be great in your tank. If you upgrade to the 220, a fahaka could live in a 120 depending on the width.
Is it that they are all aggressive or do you think my fish would pick on them. And how long do you think a fahaka would work in that tank if I get it around 4 or 5 inches.
well they are all very aggressive and if their a small size then you obviously know that your oscar will eat it.
Depending on the dimensions, a fahaka could work for life alone. The bare minimum is commonly agreed upon as a 4x2x2 120.
Congos are very vicious too, so i wouldn't put it past them to take each other out... especially since they like burying themselves in the substrate waiting for passers by...
