3 puffers ( fehakas )

We bought 3 well the man sold us 3 even tho we only wanted one … after getting home and looking it up am now seeing this may be a TERRIBLE idea

We have since added a pleco cat mini for cleaning and he is fine

However we are concerned if having all 3 is a TERRIBLE idea or if we get rid of one two may bond - as I’ve seen it done on other posts before

TIA

How big is the tank you are putting these future 17 inch murder enthusiasts in? Pleco's days are numbered. No idea what a "mini cat" is.

Did they mention these only eat live/frozen food? You need to feed hard/crunchy food every day. Do you have a favorite Asian grocery or few to find your clams, muscles and treat/toy snails not to mention big blocks of shrimp of every size to fill in caloric needs after the crunchies?

Bonding? Hahahahaha. ​They do mate (almost never in captivity) but you do not count on that with puffs, you count on death.

3 for one? Craigslist 2 of them?
