On a side note it's interesting how 'Marine/freshwater' seemed so sure that he was right, so sure as to insult me on a thread, but yet did not reply to my PM.
Happy now I thought I replied but I guess I didn't. I am by no means insulting you. Puffers and morays can live together. But in a 55 gallon tank there is no way a GSP and and a Freshwater Moray will work. A 55 gallon is the minnimum for a Freshwater Moray. Ive kept 2 large saltwater puffers( 13 inch.) with my moray with no problems. Green Spotted Puffers and other so called "freshwater" puffers have territory issues. If a GSP feels threatened it can easily kill a moray. They are so toxic all the moray has to do is lick it. The moray can not defend itself. If you mix them both individuals get stressed. Morays are not very durable. Freshwater morays are succeptable to infections. A tipical saltwater moray in a perfect saltwater tank is a powerful fish, a freshwater moray at 1.008 is not. A freshwater moray can handle lower salinities but it can be more fragile in less than optimal.On a side note it's interesting how 'Marine/freshwater' seemed so sure that he was right, so sure as to insult me on a thread, but yet did not reply to my PM.
You've kept a smaller moray with two puffers over a foot long, that could not only easily kill, but fully eat, a smaller moray, and you accuse people that keep a moray with a three inch puffer as cruel? Arothron may be less aggressive than Tetraodon but wasn't your point in the first place that a spotted puffer could "tear a moray's face off"? Certainly large Arothron have a killing power many times that of smaller puffers?Ive kept 2 large saltwater puffers( 13 inch.) with my moray with no problems. Green Spotted Puffers and other so called "freshwater" puffers have territory issues. If a GSP feels threatened it can easily kill a moray. They are so toxic all the moray has to do is lick it.

If the OP wants a puffer, I'd suggest South American Puffers. Widely considered the only puffers acceptable for community tanks.

Umm...you care to go a bit further into your retort there? It doesn't help the OP if you don't say if you mean they aren't suitable, or if there is another species which is equally suitable.
if people that keep their fish in a near optimal environment get flamed, just imagine what treament the people that keep their fish in a poor environment must get.
