    Hello, currently I have a 29 gallon tank with the following fish: ocellaris clownfish, yt damsel, and pink spotted watchman goby. I was wondering if I could add a Valentini puffer. Does anybody know anything about the puffer from experience? Or what other fun little fish could I get? Thanks.

    I have a Valentine in my 46G. Neat little fish because they almost look like a trigger. Mine is semi-agressive but seems to do well around my corals. It is also pretty hardy as it was one of the few fish I had live through an ick outbreak. I would say that if you put a puffer in your 29 then the bio load will be pretty much maxed out.

    Yeah? how did you acclimate it? I was reading and it said you should drip acclimate for three hours? I'm pretty new. I don't have any corals or anything like that. do you have any inverts?

    It would be too much with four fish in there? (counting the puffer)

    See my post in this board. I have a 29gal. With valentini puffer, 2 blue chormis, and I added a Clownfish... make it short, it stressed him out. He picked on him. Stress. Ich. Dead clown. Sick puffer.
