Researching valentini puffers

Post by Richie »

I've fallen in love with my LFS valantini puffer, he/she is simply beautiful, even my wife has found the enthusiasm to research and build a FOWLR aquamarine 900,.

Ideas we would like 2 maybe 3 valantini puffers in ther with a few other fish, is 3 puffers 1 to many? Also what other fish could we look at introducing that play nice with the puffers.

Thanks for taking the time to read and hopefully reply

I wouldn't keep more than 2 puffers in there.

I've owned Canthigaster puffers before, and they really are neat little fish. They're small, yet at the same time can be just as energetic as their larger counterparts. They are territorial, however, and a Canthigaster won't hesitate to attack another one in "his" fishtank.
