Puffers and clams

Drewbaby · 03/04/2010, 11:44 PM

This may be asking a bit too much, but has anyone ever kept a clam and a porcupine puffer together in the same tank without any problems?

My girlfriend has a porcupine and we are going to move it to the 180 because she has outgrown her old tank. I would like to get a clam in the near future, but with the puffer being added to the mix I think this rules out any chance.

Let me know if you have had any success with this.

Thanks
Drew

i probably would not risk it. my dogface puffer would go after mussels in their shell so the puffer may mistake the clam as a "treat"
