Dwarf Puffers And Mystery Snails

[ScoutCarcer]

Could a Dwarf Puffer be happy living with a few adult mystery snails? If not what about baby mystery snails?

 

[SirMinion]

Dwarf puffers would eat the babies and kill the adults even though the snails are much larger than the puffers.
Snails are one of Dwarf Puffer's natural foods.

Only one species of puffer can be kept with snails, the Congo Puffer (tetraodon murius)

Plecs and small freshwater gobies.

I wouldn't make that statement so general, I bought my candy striped and DPs from the same tank at a LFS, and the gobies didn't look too good

I'll have to try peacock gudgeons some day, they might be better off

Yes indeed, I wrote that in a hurry, it was supposed to say

small freshwater gobies such as Hypogymnogobius xanthozona, the freshwater bumblebee goby.

I wrote it while at work and got distracted by a phone call while looking up the spelling of Hypogymnogobius xanthozona then forgot to go back to it!

 

[Dwarfs]

No problem, I knew that you meant fw bumble bees, but I don't think that anyone else would

If I did try that, I'd probably sit in front of the tank for a few hours until I saw interaction between the puffers and gudgeons IMO, the peacocks may work, but I am afraid to try

I've heard that some people have good luck with bristlenose plecs and otos, though if you try it you should have a back up place to put them in case the puffers decide to pick on them. Whatever you decide, let us know how it goes.
