Valentini Puffer

[edwar050]

I have kept my valentini with around 30 different types of zooanthids, leathers, and mushrooms in my 55. I already have a purple firefish, green mandarin dragonet, chromis, bangaii, and bi-color. My question is this, would it be okay to add the puffer to my 120 reef tank? 2nd question, I have heard of some having success with puffers and cleaner shrimp, would it be feasible to keep them in the 120. Lastly, any other fish recommendations. TIA,

Brad

P.S. Shes proabably going in the 120 soon -

My valentini niped at my brains a lot. kept them from opening up.
He was at the red brain after 10 seconds of being introduced to the tank.
Was one of my favorite fish though.
I will not be trying one again.
Good luck with your decision.

ruiny, thanks for that info. Kinda crazy but I have a leptoseris cuclata in my avatar with puffer and its alot like a brain, same green fleshy stuff so I wonder. Valentini's are just so different, every one seems to be a little different.

My Valentini used to go crazy for snails - didn't have clams at the time...

This is one of my favorite fish. I wish I could have one in a reef tank.
