The puffer fish is an aggresive fish. I kept it with some neon tetras and dwarf gouramis and slowly the school was almost decimated before I realised what happened
Puffer should be in a brackish tank like their natural habitat. Their lifespam is shortened by freshwater and their color is most vibrant in brackish water.
