Fish compatibility

I have just acquired a 30 gallon tall with stand and canopy that I thought about doing a tank up for my daughters room. Was wondering if green spotted puffers or figure 8 puffers are compatible with german blue rams and maybe a discus? Also are there any other cool looking rams other then the german blues that any one knows about.

 

For some reason I am not to attached to the discus any way they look like brim to me but my wife liked them LOL. Just trying to figure out a little fresh water tank for her room that is not the average Joe in every ones house you know what I mean. Any suggestions on a stocking plan

 

I second that. Any specific type you of puffers you would get?

 

Thanks for your help once again mission.

 

i thinks rams a relatively passive for cichlids.
i wouldn't mix the puffers with discus may nip fins. and discus are extremely hard to keep,on par with a salt tank. as far as the puffers are concerned i believe they eat plants, not sure but i think they would tear up anything you put in there.

green spotted puffers actually are brackish fish needing a increasing amount of salinity as they grow, eventually to salt water. and appearently very aggressive when full grown killing other tankmates introduced after it.

figure 8 puffer is freshwater but very aggressive.

puffers do best in a species tank.

my advice give you kid a cichlid tank, the fish are colorful and you can plant it.

edit: i hope you read this before your trip to the lfs, btw i checked all the puffer facts before posting.

 

the same is true in SW. anything thats not alive is hard to look at. german rams are nice. or maybe killi fish, or enlders would be nice.

 

How about the very rare and elusive.....neon.
