How much to stock 30 gallon tank?

Post by sakana_janai »

Hey guys! I've decided to redo my brackish tank and I was wondering what is usually the norm for stocking puffers in a brackish tank. Before I had 2 Fig 8s, a green spotted, and two small bumblebee gobies. Now I only have the one figure 8 and gobies left, but I would like to get more (mild) puffers.

Any reccomendations??

Very true, I just foujnd that situation out the hard way. Be sure to move around the decor before adding the new inhabitant & that it is of a similar size.

Yep, cause your F8 views that tank as his territory now and may well want to defend it. I had that happen as well.
