While puffers are mainly fin nippers, the would probably be eaten by the piranha. Any fish will eat any other fish that fits inside its mouth, and piranhas will take on fish almost as big as them. IP: Logged |

Other fish will leave puffers alone because they give off a toxin when bitten, but you have to remember puffers have different water requirements. Puffers are brackish water fish. IP: Logged |

ArrOwAnA, I believe if you will check on your particular species I think that you will find that it is actually a brackish water puffer (freshwater with higher salt content). I have never run across a TRUE FRESHWATER puffer. If it is a true freshwater puffer I would like to find out the species. Dwarfs, Malibars, and figure 8 are brackish. IP: Logged |
