Update question to ideas for my final fish

Toolfan333 · 02/22/2018, 11:43 PM

So I’ve narrowed my choices down to either a fairy wrasse or a blue spot Toby. My question is would the blue spot be compatible with my green spot puffer? I’ve read that is generally a bad idea to mix puffers, but I’ve also read that the Toby’s aren’t recognized as puffers by other types.
Thx for any info.

Hi....I don't have puffers....but I love my Wrasses...and what I found is that mixing any fish is not an exact science....if your tank is large enough you could try it...but I would be prepared to remove one or the other if agression occurs....

Trying to decide between a fairy wrasse and a blue spot Toby for my final fish. Leaning toward the Toby, but have concerns about mixing it with the greenspot puffer

I would choose the wrasse

Puffers nip. Life is long, and you'll outlive your current puffer---THEN try the other species.
