I'm setting up a low end brackish, new 40 gallon long with lots of hiding places. I know figure 8 puffer are wild card with risks, but I love them.
I would like to have some combination of the following fish. What do you suggest in terms of numbers of each? Is there a specail way they should be intruded to the tank, which species first, etc?
Figure 8 (maybe 2-3?)
Knight goby (maybe 2-3?)
Orange chromides (maybe 2-3? ,tough to find, I know)
BBG gobs, perhaps?
Thanks in advance

If you wanted more than one f8, I would go with three and no other fish... If you're ok with one f8, then you could try other fish... Two f8s leaves it most likely as one being more dominant and the other not getting enough food :/

Thanks for the reply.
If I were to go with one F8, how many knight goby and orange chromides each, do you think I can add before I'm at full capacity?
