Should I take the fish?

My daughter is taking down her FOWLR tank. She has a Cortez Stingray, a Huma Huma Trigger and a Stars and Stripes Puffer that she wants me to take.

I have a 240g FOWLR with a Cortez Stingray, Diamond Goby, Zebra Eel, Tassled Filefish and a Dogfaced Puffer, they would have to be housed in this tank. My other tank is a 90g Softy reef.

Should I take the fish?

isn't the rule for SW puffers generally one spiney on softy so to speak? i've never kept saltwater but i keep reading that on here. not sure how two softies would go. they're both pretty docile species from what i've heard though so they might be fine. i'd just worry about over crowding.

Definately not enough room for all those fish in one tank. Can you take her tank too?

This is a tough one as you would be over stocked in your 240 g for all those fish and the 120 g isn't enough for what you daughter has in there now, unless they are all young??? Could you possible take her fish and buy another 240g for them? I know a long shot but to be truthful that stars and stripes is going to need a min. of 160 g just by itself.

This is Pic of tank, the Stingray (Ray) is at the lower left other end of tank.

Both the rays are pups.
The tank is new so the fish tank wallet is empty, no new tank.

Research shows the Huma Huma Trigger to risky.
Most interested in the Stars and Stripes but tank to small.
I will have to research the long term of having the two rays in this size tank.

Yes, please do research adult sizes of all the fish you are interested in keeping.
