information an keeping a puffer

[jdluvsjane]

hi i have a 55 gallon cichlid tank with one male electric blue and two females, two electric yellows, one cobalt blue, one psuedo zebra, two common plecos, one auratus, one hybrid (convict with a severum very pretty), one really mean angle fish (he is my favorite), and one talking catfish.
and i was wondering if i could keep a fw puffer in the same tank (i think it is a sotted green puffer(it has aq yellow body, black spots with a neon green top head)). i need all the info on keeping and raising one either way. thank you

No, puffers must generally be kept alone.

Spotted puffers are not FW but require high-end BW & SW as adults. It is best to keep puffers in their own tank & not to mix with other fish (some species of puffers can't even be mixed with each other!)
