I had bought a Green Puffer fish, and it ate my Ghost Shimp, and I was woundering if and when I buy Guppies and Neon Tetra, will my Green Puffer fish kill/eat my Guppies and/or Neon Tetra?

What do you need help with? You are the proud owner of a nice green puffer who will happily swim around your tank if properly taken care of. They're kinda cool, I love the eyes and the way they "hover" about while swiming. They even become pretty personable, coming over to you when you approach the tank to beg for food.

They're pretty carnivorious. I know they -love- love love snails. Depending upon the size of your puffer, you could give him feeder fish as well, or teach him to take shrimp or squid meat off a fork. I have not had success with feeding a puffer flake or pellet diets. They like live stuff that wriggles in front of their face.

Good luck with your puffer.
