I'm pretty sure dragon gobies prefer it much lower than that.

Not only do they prefer a lower SG, but he probably won't do well with the puffer. They also require like 30 gallons themselves so you're quite overstocked here. They don't have good eyesight, so therefore have a harder time finding food, and the puffer will likely starve him to death and then eat him one day. See if you can find someone with a brackish tank to take the dragon goby, or see if you can sell him on aquabid or something.

Then, work on upgrading your tank size to at least like a 36 bowfront or something because you're already working with a lot less actual space in the 29 than you need. 29 gallon tanks don't actually hold that many gallons, plus once you add substrate and live rock, you have even less water.

Congrats on your puffer though and good job for getting him into better water/living conditions. =]
