Hey Puff Daddy

I cant answer this specific question , having never kept any puffer fish

I will bump this thread for others


You posted it in the "articles and how to" section - which means nobody could reply to it
until I moved it to Tropical fish

if your not sure where to post a question - post it in the "new to the hobby" forum
that way others can still respond whilst it is awating moving to correct location

please dont post general enquiries in the " atricles" forum - becuase if you do, noboday can reply to your post until its moved

not coral safe or invert safe. I know some people have kept them in a tank with crabs and corals, but most have chomped on them eventually.

There really is not a puffer that can be kept outside of a FOWLR tank....puffers (including toby) have large powerful teeth which are used to crush shells and chomp corals and rocks There teeth will become overgrown if not ground down.

 

here is some more info on it

+1 to above, i think you should stick with an easyier fish while learning about the hobby
