If that tank also houses your figure 8 I wouldn't add anything else
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Why not some more bbg's? They are hilarious to watch. Or are you just after something a little different? People are generally lucky with bbg because they are very small and wear the universal warning colours. All creatures are wary of black/ yellow mix. This does however depend on your puffer, only he will decide who can live with him in his tank.

I've kept them together. I'd wait to stock more after you've upgraded though.

I think im just going to load up on BBGs. I love all gobies and i want to own them all. Whats the minimum size tank for a dragon goby. Is a 55 gal too small for one? I like setting up my tanks so that fish that dont normally live together in an aquarium can. I have a mudskipper with my fig 8 and neither one knows that the other one exists.

Ever since i got a brackish tank freshwater just isnt the same. Brackish fish have so much personality. My mudskipper watches me more then i watch him. My figure 8 watches me when i watch him. My BBG hops around the tank and scares the puffer when he sneaks up on him.
