Puffer fish

[mike Bushie]

what do you guys think of a blue spot puffer
fish.
are they not great to have in a reef tanks?

I would say, with caution. They can eat your inverts, they have a beak-type jaw, made for guess what ? Crushing hard things. I thing I have heard they have toxic skin.

why do all the weirdly beautiful fish have to have bloody toxic skin

its a shame

They are better in Fish only tanks really, they will eat your inverts and may take a swipe at some of your soft corals.

 

[mike Bushie]

wouldn't want that

The beauty is a warning in nature, think of the red, blue and lumo green tree frogs.

another question. ( just been stuffing around) is this right can a yellow tang go in a 20g tank. I wouldn't think so. what would you guys say about how many gal's would you need for a yellow tang

Never, 100 gallons minium and this size tank would mean you would eventually have to relocate it when it got to adult size.

What's with the Dwarf angel link ?

 

[mike Bushie]

thought so. my bad

 

[mike Bushie]

what would you put in a 32 gal tank. if you had a
midus blenny, 2 true perkes, african pygmy.
just trying to see what is the coolest fish i could get to complement the already cool fish i have.

Loads of gobies will do well - Clown, Yellow watchman, red stripe

All the firefish and maybe a jawfish
