Valentini puffer and inverts

I was thinking about purchasing a valentini toby puffer. Some reviews have said that they will eat shrimp and inverts, others say it may be ok? Does anyone have any personal experience or opinions?

 

i will eat any shrimps and even some snails. i have a honeycomb, which is basically the same thing and he eats anything that moves!!

 

Puffers are destroyers of all motile inverts.

 

All puffers carry toxins inside them ( if they die ) they can fowl your tank water seveerly and even kill the other inhabitants ,
and besides'.. have a good look at the "mouth area" on the puffers'.. some have "chissled" parrot like teeth and some have "rigged mouths" they have a liking for inverts , and some corals .( those mouths arint made like that for nothing )
I dont suggest it.. to many "negitives" out-weigh all the good's... for a a reef

 

But its for a fowler

 

Yea, im not currently going to make a reef tank, only a fowlr. Would that make any difference?

 

just that you won't be able to have a "clean up crew" unless they are meant to be snacks. I read/heard that you shouldn't feed puffers, lion, etc.. live food since it can make them more likely to eat other docile fish in the tank.

 

LOL! Roflcopter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

ok, so a puffer and no inverts. or inverts and no puffer, thanks for helping
