Title: Freshwater Puffer
Post by: mole on April 07, 2015, 06:35:24 PM

Hey there! For a freshwater puffer in a 20 gallon tank, how should i add extra filtration methods? I know they are very messy eaters!

I'm not an expert in puffers but I would have thought that a filter rated for 20, maybe 30 galls would be OK for a single fish. As long it is cycled before the fish goes in, of course.

When you feed them snails I'd recommend removing the leftovers. My dwarf puffers tend to just bite the heads off the snails and ignore whats left in the shell.
