New to marines and new to puffers. Valentini ?

[krissy8364]

Hi all-

I am new to the marine world and asking questions first instead of regretting later. I have a 20 gallon cube that I would like to setup as a marine tank. I was wondering if two clowns and a valentini puffer would be too much of a bioload? Also, if it is okay, which should I obtain first?

Thanks in advance for your help!

What kind of clownfish are you looking at? I would say the clowns would be plenty for the tank. Check out the PufferPedia and Library for great information and articles.

Ocelleris.

Do think the puffer and clowns would be too much then? One clown and a puffer? The puffer is really what I want and would be willing to scrap the clowns if need be. Suggestions?

Look at the Pufferpedia here for minimum tank sizes for puffers. I believe 30g would be good for a Valentini. Definately not all 3 in a 20g.

I agree with the 30g. Puffers like room to explore.
