Bought 10 Zebra Danios to help with cycling my new brackish tank. They did a fine job and I decided to reward their effort by leaving them in the tank.
I introduced a few brackish fish, Monos, Gobis including two Figure 8 puffers. After two nights I only had one Danio left, no debris, no fish parts, nothing...just two very happy puffers with swollen bellies :shock:
I felt bad about the Danios but had I known puffers could be that preditory and voracious I would have found a more appropriate tank.
Haha. Yeup. Definitely ot surprising.
I've heard of a green spotted puffer killing gars five times the size of it. Ambushing them while they slept!
What kind of Gobys did you get? I think Scats are nice looking BW fish, but puffers . . . what wont they sneek up on?

Knight Gobys kennyman. As much as I like the puffers I think I'll put them on probation for a while - can't have them attacking any more fish.
We had puffers in with the knight gobies at Ba, and they seemed to get along fine.
Might depend on the size though.
