I'm considering adding one......Help me decided which one.....Leaning towards a Fiji

Canthigaster epilamprus is a great species, I have one and he is quite a character.

 

[JustinReef]

I would go Fiji or White Spotted.

Are the Fiji the same as the blue dot toby puffers? If so I vote for them I think they look great.

Getting a white spotted next week directly from a diver in Hawaii

Nice! I love them but I don't see them very often in LFS. I have always wanted one!

Yeah same fish. Very beautiful colors. I think the males are much brighter though if I remember correctly.

I believe I will be purchasing one soon!

Justinpsmith,
Thanks for the info. An unrelated question....but are the toby puffers as hard on the clean up crew as the larger puffers? I would like to get one but I like having some hermits and snails.

Generally yes but it really depends on the individual fish. I had a Valentini Puffer once that would not touch hermits but would eat snails. They are usually a bit more aggressive and "nippy" than larger puffers. They are the only puffers I have ever owned that destroyed my soft corals.

Mine samples just about everything but I have been able to keep some snails and a CC star with him.
