Puffer question

[ac]

Can you keep two stars and strips puffers together in a 320 gallon tank?:notsure:

 

[beach bum]

probably not the best idea, the general concensus I beleive is the only 'multiple specimen' puffer for the long haul is the porcupine.

can you keep a tonga dogface and a stars and strips? (180g)

In my experiences, I have never had a problem with a puffer attacking another puffer unless it was just an aggressive fish that was aggressive to everything else as well.

So are you saying you can keep 2 porkys togather in same tank? I have a 90 gal? yes no maybe, just curious

You may have aggression with the stars and stripes and the dogface. Porks with do better with the df or str & stripes. 2 puffers should get along together, but a 90 would be too small for them long term. With 320, you'd most likely be able to get away with it.

Trigeraa had a problem recently with his big puffers i believe. I think one killed the other 2 or something.

Yeah, I remember that. If memory serves me right, I believe he had 3 and 2 were killed.
