Salty Chee, the first picture is used by a fish website that sells fish. And the last one cannot possibly be your puffer, it isn't even the same type as your porcupine.

I would have to say, when it is around Wrasse, and other constantly active fish, it gets annoyed and will probably bite the other fish. To the best of my knowledge, this isn't really a true eel is it?

I'd be very nervous, putting the puffer with those species. The starfish, has about a 50/50 chance of being eaten, while the Mandarin if eaten may or may not have toxins that can kill the Puffer.

Good advice

He seems very stressed to me. Can you read off Water Paremeters?

By color- Golden Puffer By my liking-Clown Trigger

Clown Trigger would be awesome, being me I would want a Porcupine Puffer.

I comend you on your pursistence to keep the fish alive. It shows you really care. I'm glad that some people will go through as much as you to keep their fish alive. Sorry for your loss.

I only did Freshwater for six months before I decided I was ready for Saltwater. I only lost two fish in the Saltwater hobby and I've been going for on three years now. To me it isn't much harder at all. With proper research and a good plan, you can be well on your way in no time. however I...

I still don't agree with that 5 gallon. One clown Goby, is max. Two is pushing it.

I would reccomend switching out the Valentini puffer, with a Bigger puffer of the genus Arothron

Give the puffer time to acclimate. After a little while he/she will be eating like a champ! I would reccomend feedng, krill, brine shrimp, blackworms, squid, and small mussels to him/her.

I am going to knock off a few things said here. In every puffer I have seen, I think I have seen little to no aggression, even in the the smallest of tanks. I have yet to see a "killer puffer" although they do take well to eating MUCH smaller fish. You could house him in it for quite a while...

nope. Those things get like 3-4 ft around and are very clumsy. Actually there are a few species that stay a decent size.

The only thing bad about it is that Diodon Hystrix can become 36" long.

Very good pics once again Ryan. Your Porcupine puffer is looking a little on the diodon histrix side with its coloration. I love the Black Dogface though. Keep up the good work!

Take all the fish in the 5 gallon back. You WILL kill them all in a tank that small. Its doomed for disaster. Your 55 is even overcrowded.

I may get one once my puffer gets a little bigger. Very cool fish, my LFS gets them in frequently.
