    I don't know much about puffers other than they can be aggressive, I don't think there are ANY commonly available puffer that can go in a 29G tank.

    I have two puffers. A porcupine and a dog face. You should hold off on adding the puffer, after adding those three fish at once you will see a rise in ammonia in a few days because of the sudden crap load. Also no cleanup crew will add to the problems. Not to mention a puffer will prob eat your snails an crabs for breakfast. Also you should have a 90 g tank minimum for a puffer. They get big and when they are small they still are big. Remember they 4x in size when puffed. My advice is return the puffer for store credit somewhere and look into a cleanup crew and purchase a protein skimmer.

    That rock you bought is beautiful by the way. And Black and white clowns are the best.

    I just noticed afterwards it was a toby. Tank size not a problem but Tobys are known to eat snails and crabs too fyi
