One of the more peaceful Freshwater Pufferfish, the Spotted Congo Puffer can be kept with faster moving tankmates such as Congo Tetras. They are notorious for biting at plants, so hardier, thicker leaved plants such as Anubias will fair best. It is best to keep as the only puffer in a 30 gallon, but can be kept in groups of 6 or more in a 75 gallon tank or larger, but be careful with aggression.
