Thanks for the article link. I wouldnt mind and actually prefer having only 1 species of puffer but cant find the right one yet. Do any of the smaller marine puffers eat live food? I love the way Valentini and simmilar puffers look and act but I am so drawn to the predator style fish. What if I got a Papuan Toby or spotted or the like and tried keeping it with a fuzzy dwarf lion to satisfy my predator need? Can these types of puffers handle themselves if need be? The last thing I would like is for another fish to get stung by a lion but I keep reading completely conflicting information on pairing these species. Thanks everyone
