The trouble with puffer fish is that they are terrible fin nippers and will rip chunks off almost any species. One may survive for a while in a tiny 10 gal tank but the smallest tank I would consider keeping one in would have to be over 100 gallons.


Actually 1 dwarf puffer can go in a 2.5 gallon tank, I have 7 dwarf puffers in a 37 Gallon tank, but i probably could have about 15 in there (maybe)

One inch of goldfish per gallon of water is often recommended, so you could keep around 7-8 small goldfish in a 30 gallon aquarium.

It's always best to research the specific type of goldfish you have to ensure they have enough space to thrive.
