    I'd avoid puffers. There very cool and fun to watch but that tusk fish may get aggressive as it matures.

    thanks for the heads up, but my son and i left for the fish store a 7:30 this morning. we bought a compressed toby puffer and a fighting conch. the puffer is only about 3" so i put it in my 55 gallon qt/fish with bad attitude tank. i have divider in the middle of the tank to separate it from my maroon clown. i will post pic of puffer later.

    sounds like a great plan! I've kept tobys before and they are quite active and colorful. having a coupon makes it really nice :)

    piff got thru my divider somehow and got sucked up my filter intake. i came home from work and heard the filter starving for water and knew what happened. i turned the filter off and he fell out of the intake back into the tank. seems to be doing ok. i put a strainer on the intake and hopefully all is going to be ok.
