Thanks, Agnate and riggers for your timely response. The biggest one was moving towards SW for some time but over a course of months. I'm amazed that the two newest and smallest did so well so soon. I do not notice any real stress and they have fat, white bellies but their yellow isn't as intense as the bigger guy. Don't know if that's an indication of stress or if a sign of submissiveness toward the bigger puffer. They pretty much leave each other alone and I've never seen any serious harressment.

Most of my ornaments are fake but I do have coral rocks for decoration and ph and argonite for substrate. Currently, the salinity is 1.23. I probably should mention at this point that I'm new to SW and the pet shop employee said that what the salinity level was suppose to be. Were they correct?

Thanks for telling me what marine fish that maybe compatiable with my puffers. I love clown fish and enjoyed the movie 'Finding Nemo'. I posted in a similar thread on GSPs and full marine about what bottom feeders would work for SW. I currently have two red-legged crabs that the puffers tend to leave alone...unfortunately the ate the SW snails.....but was wondering if you could recommend any others?
