The Puffer Forum

Hey everyone...well I currently have a 100gal with a 4" dogface, Harlequin Tusk and a few damsels...

I came across this golden puffer at saltwaterfish.com and am SO close to pulling the trigger on him:

I wondered if these puffers would get along. I think they should and having an 8" golden join the smaller fish would keep the fish that have been around longer from being overly aggressive towards him.

I'm well aware of the bioload we are talking about. I will be moving to a 220gallon eventually. I have a great skimmer and do 25 gallon waterchanges every other week.

I'm just wondering if you think the dogface and the golden would get along? Is this a possible fit? He's kinda spendy but they call him a "show" fish and he's very good looking.

I think "show" means they are massively huge but I could be wrong.

He was 8" but it doesn't matter because someone else bought him today.

I don't think I would've wanted to try it anyway. Having one puffer kick another's butt isn't something I want to see.

Aww..if you ever get one that would be amazing because they are gorgeous.
I also checked on myself and "show" does mean they are large with perfect colors, like you can compete with them in a show.
And yeah, puffer butt kicking isn't good.
