Hi, I am setting up my 12 gallon tank pretty soon, all I want is some puffers, I was thinking a couple Figure 8s and a couple Indian dwarf puffers. How does that sound?

<Not so good to be honest. Figure 8 puffers Tetraodon biocellatus have very limited life expectancy in freshwater aquariums. Experience shows they can only be kept in brackish water (SG about 1.005) in the long run, although they are distributed in freshwater habitats. Therefore and because a 12 gallon tank is too small for more than one Figure 8 puffer I’d recommend staying with dwarf puffers.  more
