I got 3 little pea puffer fish so I’m cleaning up the nano aquariums on the counter, and look at the root systems on the plants I’m thinning out.

Can dwarf puffers live by themselves, or do they need to be kept in pairs or something?

Dwarf pufferfish, like all pufferfish, are assholes. Giant. Jerk. Assholes. But they are super cute! They can be kept alone as they aren’t very sociable with their own kind but you can keep a few in a tank that gives them enough room to establish their own territories. (I’d suggest a few gallons per puffer, like around 5 gallons per fish).

Make sure they have a lot of hiding spots/caves/plants (fake or real). You can also visit an aquarium store and see if they have any parasite snails (bladder snails, turban snails) to put into the tank as pufferfish adore eating snails!

Good luck!

My new rescue pea puffers. The substrate got stirred up and looks filthy, but most of it is Fluval stratum dust and dead plant matter. I'll be siphoning all that junk out tomorrow. For now, these two are very stressed and I don't want to bother them.
