**edit** forgot but the ONLY time the dwarf puffer showed agression was when i put the figure 8 in the 150(just for holding for a few), he chased him all around the tank like he wanted to kill him, obviously they dont like other puffers.

Currently a dwarf puffer is in with 4 severums, a fire eel, japura, reed fish, clawed frogs, yellow tailed eel, knifefish, in a 150 gallon and there all buddies, he dont bother them they dont bother him. He never gave em any problems when they were smaller either, but like i said 2 other dwarfs...

not always true, we had 3, 2 were harassed everything, but one of em is in a community tank and doesnt bother anything, been in there 6-8months no problems. I'd say depends on the puffer.

thanks for the help

What growth rate can be expected on these, mine is currently 3inches or so in a 75gallon with an emperor 400/ Rena Xp3 and a Whisper 60, doing a small(10-15%) waterchange every 4 days. Feeding live black worms. I was wanting to get some Lima Shovelnose around 3-6inches and was afraid the knife...

Alright so thats who was eating them, i bough some awhile back, but the petstores have been out for awhile. thanks

Ray seems to have lost his appetite after the burn, hes alittle thiner but not skinny yet, anything i can do or just wait it out? feeding live blackworms...

Is melafix safe to use in the tank with the arowana and the tire track eel? How much water should be changed and how often? thanks.

point taken, when i move him im going to use a pillow case and see if that works, but i see where your coming from on this. Off topic but what happens if a stingray burns themselve on a heater, i moved the heater to an out of the way spot but never had a chance to mesh it, stingray found it...

k.o.d. for one I DID TAKE THE ADVICE GIVEN, thats when this thread should of died. As for keeping the arowana long term, i shouldnt even bother with a 180? ...are you serious? thats some advice im not going to take, im going to gradually upgrade, no sense not buying a 180 which will house him...

Ok... so your pretty much saying "buy the maximum size tank the fish needs before you buy the fish" that would about be one of the funniest things i've heard, you people, it seems sometimes neglect the fact a fish GROWS, you dont stick it in your tank and them BOOM... its full grown. If i have...

In 6months when the ray needs a new tank he'll get one, god forbid i dont just shutdown my 75gallon which fits him just fine for now and rush out and buy a bigger tank. I think the rocks wont get moved because the rays been in there over a month and hasnt moved them yet, not to mention there...

rock aint going no where, frogs and rays dont mix and should of did my research? didnt find nothing about that and how often in the wild do you see AFRICAN clawed frogs and SOUTH AMERICAN stingrays?

rays 5 inches, 75 gallon is 48X18, nope no room to swim...most plastic plants are against the backwall, and ONE rock formation for the eel, i think hes fine. And if you read the posts, frogs already were taken out, and hows it a funny idea, i tried mixing two oddballs, didnt work, but im yet to...

Temp is between 81-83 degrees, fed 2 times daily, once morning one evening and if hes really active in the day and looks hungry ill put alitte in. Feeding live black worms and they eat em right up. The suggestion with the frogs seemed to be the problem, thanks a bunch, hes much more active...
