Hi,
I have a 40 gallon aquarium that I am converting into a brackish water aquarium.
Since I love puffer fish I have decided to get 2-3 figure 8 puffers.
Would this work and would I be able to keep any tank mates with them?
I like the night and the bumble bee goby's would they work?
Thanks for your help,

If you want to do bb gobies...then do 2 F8's
If you do 3..then you are already pushing you biolaod.
Lots of people have success with this combo...but beware BB gobies are annoying sometimes which could get them into trouble with an F8.

I would not do bumblebee gobies with more than one F-8 in a forty. Too many fish for me.
