Could you put a Map Puffer and a Porcupine Puffer together in a 100 gallon tank. if not can you put any two puffers together is the same tank

As for your first question NO. Reason being mappa's get huge and the Porc's are not shy in the growth department as well. You could mix a couple tobies in the 100 but keep in mind they are generally un-acceptable of one another. In a tank that size I wouldn't think it wouldn't be an issue. I had the same question in the past and thats the answer I had got.

Yeah, I would not recommend putting 2 puffers in that sized tank. Two large puffers should not be mixed in general.

you could get them small but would need to upgrade in the future at some time because porrcupine puffers grow to like 2 ft. and mappa puffers i dont know how big they get but im guessing around 1 to a foot and a half

I had a question about this also. I'm getting a 150(my parents said 300 is too big) in the future and I wanted to mix a porc and a stars and stripes. Since my mom likes both of these she wouldn't mind going up to 180 but thats as big as I can get. Would this be a problem?

Do you have any basis at all for making statements like this?

The kid is 10 years old. He is not really in the position to be giving advice as it is. There are many threads about this though.

You will most likely have a problem. Puffers do not associate in close enviroments with other puffers very well.

Are you saying I've done something like that? I remember a thread where someone claimed docs eels were photoshopped. I was not the member who said it though, since I know that doc hand feeds his eels. Really though, you shouldn't take things from other threads in to new ones. Or at least blame the right member.

You didn't quite get it. How obvious can I be? I am the guy that called it photoshop.

gliuomo, I think your biggest problem is the relatively small tank you've got. If you had something closer to 300, 2 puffers wouldn't be a problem.
Hapshot, you shouldn't hijack threads by bringing up some drama no one cares about.
