22gallon pics of my fish

These are my 2 little clowns and puffer fish in my 22 gallon tank. Have been in there for about a month now, doing very well, had them in QT for 3 weeks before.

 
Ya he is a valentini puffer fish. I LOVE him. Probably my favorite fish to just sit and watch. He has a ton of personality, and unlike most puffer fish from what I have read and heard he is so calm and docile. He is nice to my fish and cleaner shrimp, doesn't even mess with the one coral I have. When I clean the tank he will actually let me pet him, he is awesome, lol, love him to death as you can tell :)

He looks very thin. You might try feeding him some clams or other meaty stuff.

Not the first time I have been told that. He eats well when I feed him, feed him brine shrimp and flake food. He get's fed every other day. Guess I will try some other types of food, but should I also feed him every day? Problem with that is the other fish will also steal his food...
Thanks for the comments everyone.
 
Talked with my LFS today about my puffer, they too agreed he is too thin. They told me I should feed him krill and silverslide once in a while, so I got some today and he ate up the krill in no time. Hopefully will bulk him up quick! :)

Ya he is a cool puffer for sure, glad to hear you might get one as well.
2 cleaner shrimp is fine with a 22g, I could actually get another if I really wanted to, but I like them in pairs ;)

Thanks for the comments everyone.
u might as well throw that brine shrimp in the trash its worthless.
another good food to feed is formula 1 cubes, your LFS should have it with the rest of the frozen foods.

Love your tank, and like everyone else, love your puffer. I was at my LFS today, and was mesmerized for a good 10 minutes with one they had there. They are gorgeous fish
 
Thanks, he is a nice looking puffer, so cute and has a lot of personality. Today he was chillin on a rock resting and let a cleaner shrimp clean him all up. It was awesome.
