Default puffer - beginner

no other fish
clean the tank yourself
feed them small prawns and stuff with shells on maybe as a substitute
add salt
puffers are really not often true freshwater fish
and will suffer from fungus's and stuff if water quality is not well
maintained

hi, i just got a freshwater puffer
i do not know what type, but its reddish/brownish, abstract-art
patterns
a friend gave it to me, seems that it ate few of his smaller fishes.
likes pretending to be a rock. aggresive mutha

also got this aquarium, do not know what size, probably around size of
widestreen 19"/20" CRT monitor

i probably need to get cleaner fishes. will puffer eat them?

I hope to get another puffer or two, and probably some other species of
fishes. Would that be a problem?

I don't think i can get snails easily to feed it to "trim" its teeth.
Are there alternatives?

thanks
Nick
