I heard that there was like one fish that typically gets along with the D.P. fine. Does anyone know what fish that was? I know some people have good luck adding others with the D.P. but this fish typically has a great chance at not having problems with that. When I get my 55g, my 10g is going to be converted so a D.P. could live there, as the girlfriend wants one real bad... only problem is she wants more than just a D.P. in there.

dwarfs have been known to leave otos alone, but everything else needs to watch out

thats a big risk to take. in a 10 gallon you could get 2 dwarf puffers as long as you have places for them to hide and a couple otos.

They're pretty common here in Houston. I just bought 2 today, which I'm putting into my 5 gallon to clean up the algae. After their QT period is over, they may go into the 15 gallon - haven't decided yet.

I'd rather not even risk it, so I'm probably going to do just 1 Dwarf, and 2 Otos. I have to wait at least a month till I can get some b-day money and when Mr. President starts sending out some of them stimulus checks.... You best believe that check is going to make my fish happy!

I'm going to go with the philosophy of "For each time I think I want to get a tattoo, I'm going to get a fish..."

I may have to get me a 55 gallon for that , but no more room in my bedroom... unless I get rid of the computer desk, and get smaller one.... and if I get rid of the wardrobe which holds my clothes...

I'm going to wait till I move out before I get a 55 gallon... I'll just get me a 30 gallon for now...
