    Hey everyone!

    I have 8 Irrubesco's and would really like to breed with them, they are all in the one 25G tank
    (I know it's to small, but i don't have more space).

    The tank is planted and with driftwood and rocks. The aggression is there between the males, but they don't hurt each other. I know there has been success with this puffer, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Just a question if your tank is already tight, what do you plan on doing with the fry? When they are born?

    @Lizid I have other tanks that I can use, to small for puffers but the fry will be fine.
    @SalmonAfrica Thanks for the info. Will look into the size thing.

    I remember reading some time ago that Puffers are really difficult to breed. Apparently the fry are absolutely tiny and not easy to get to a decent size. Good luck!
