calculator Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I would say that it probably isn't a very good idea, as dwarf puffer's are known to be fin nippers, so I wouldnt risk them attacking and ruining the fins of discus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexyay Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Dwarf puffers have only been known to be ok with Otos, there are the occasional exception but only with large tanks and fast fish. Discus would be too slow for them - dpfs will pick on anything so I wouldn't recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexyay Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Well, here's a pic of what one did to a tetra - http://homepage.ntlworld.com/phillipnbecky/chunk.jpg - I wouldn't risk that with a discus, set up a little 5-10gal and have a DPF species tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
