Another compatibility with dogface puffer

[SecretiveFish]

Hi All,
I asked this a few weeks ago, but did not get any responses so here goes again.

Would a dogface puffer be OK with the following fish in a 150 6ft long tank?
- marine betta
- indigo hamlet
- lawnmower blenny
- matted filefish
- kole tang
- green mandarin
- longnose hawkfish
- pair of oscellaris clownfish

Thanks in advance.

should be fine, as long as your tank is big enough. these are in a tank larger than a 55? I'd say you need at least a 90.

All the fish listed are in a 150 gallon tank.

So it sounds like I can get one? I have always wanted one. Would it eat a serpent starfish?

It's possible it would go after serpent stars, but not for sure. My serpent stars were always pretty cryptic and active at night, and my fish didn't bother them. A 150 gallon tank will be absolutely fine for the puffer. It may pick at soft corals and shrimps, hermits or mollusks, but your fish will be good.
