Hi. Currently in my 10 gallon aquarium I have two Bolivian Rams, 3 Jewel Tetras, and a pleco. I was woundering if I could put maybe 1 or 2 Freshwater spotted puffers in with my fish. I know the inch per gal rule, but don't the puffers stay pretty small? If I was able to get 1 or 2 puffers, is there anything I need to know about them before purchasing them(special treatment or anything...)!!! thanx a lot.

Hi Alen, The Puffers would not get along with the Rams or Tetras. Also the Spotted Puffers are brackish water and not freshwater fish.

Hi Alen, Dwarf Malabar Puffers are freshwater fish, but they are still a little too aggressive for the fish listed. All of the Puffer fish are moderately aggressive.
