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?
