I just found this compatability chart while parusing the net, dont know if it is totally accurate, but it's right for my fish.

Ha ha ha ! it's a load of tripe!

It says that puffers are 'usually compatable' with danios & rasboras!

Oh yes, puffers LOVE to be kept with danios & rasboras.... yum yum.

And what the heck are 'assorted asian fish'?
 
As these charts go, this ones not bad. The last one i came accross said I could keep Mbuna, Firemouths, Gourami's and Oscar's in the same tank. Yeah right! :rofl:

These things are never 100% accurate but as a general guide, not bad at all.
 
Thanks for posting the chart canoechiq-- it's interesting to read.

Like any other chart of this nature, I think it's useful -- to a point.

It generalizes to a fair degree (all tetras are implied to be identical, same with barbs, male and female bettas aren't distinguished, etc etc).

It may be useful as a quick reference, but I tend to rely more on my own observations, the observations and personal experience of other trusted fishkeepers I know, and research.

For instance, I'd do a lot more investigation if I were planning to mix fish which I suspected could be incompatible in a community tank.
 
puffers and gourami do not mix. I had two dwarf puffers in with 2 blue gourami and the puffers never left them alone. picked there fins to tatters and one of the gourami ended up dieing as a result of all the stress. I would not ever recommend that someone put puffers in with anything that isn't willing to kick their little butts. The puffers are in with cichlids now and they are doing fine.
 
i think it soould be pinned but pinned as a gereral chart cause there right not all its correct because evry fish is different but its a good thing 4 general knowledge good find!!!!!!!
