well, i already have 6 hermits and 2 clown gobies in my SW tank, so i know that puffers wont work in there, but if i could relocate them, what SW puffers could fit in there( happily of course)??

thanks

I forgot to add , i meant puffers other then tobys. i couldnt find any on the puffer list, and my book has almost non-existent info on puffers.

As far as I know, there are no marine Puffers (other than Tobies) that can be housed in a tank that small.

Why not a Toby? They are beautiful. My Valentini is one of my faves, and I'm looking to buy a Papau.

id love to get a toby, i was actually thinking a male and female valentini, it says how to tell them apart and breed them in my book.
only problem is that at my LFS, their puffer thats labeled as a valentini is actually a saddleback, guess ill have to break it to them sooner or later.

would a valentini kill my clown gobies? i know i would have to find a new home for my hermits though...

I have found them to be extremely mean. I wouldn't keep them w/a fish that small or delicate.

From the gender Canthigastrinae the valentini toby its the most Calmest.
Itâ€™s the only marine puffer That is accommodated in my reef tank.

wow tan, thats an incredible tank! i don think i want to risk the clown gobies lives though, the next SW tank i set up will definitely be puffers

That is a beautiful setup TAN, When I see pictures like that it really makes me seriously consider setting up a marine tank.
