the angel needs a 55 as well as the puffer, ur best bet would be to have two small fish like two percs or two ocells

Yes,a flame Angel would work.You just assume that he/she is going to put all the corals and inverts in the world in that tank which makes me mad 
I'm sure if you could only have 2 small false percs I couldn't have ANYTHING in a 12-gallon
But I agree witht he blenny and I don't know about puffers really.

well the angel could go in there short term but the puffer tho most sites will say needs a 20-30gal minimal but w/ my experience w/ them they r swimmers and would do bettr in a 55

ok.. the blenny will do fine..the angel needs a 55, the puffer will need a 55, i'd say get the blenny, the sixline, and 2 percula clowns.

what are you talking about.. 2 fish in a 30??.. people have 3-4 fish in 15 gallon tanks and they're ok.., i'm sure 4 fish would be completely fine in a 30.

u have to keep in mind in a small tank levels such as ammonia can spike quick if he doesnt have proper filtration (aka if he had 4 or 5 fish then that would be like a skimmer and filter rated for 70-100gals) so 4 fish that r producing a lot of waste for a 30 is gonna equal high ammonia

have you had experience with a 30?.. when i started my 30 i didn't know anything and had 7 fish in it.. and my amonia never went over 0.25, don't worry, i ended up taking all the fish back, but still.. 4 fish in a 30 is completely reasonable.

yes i did keep a 30 at one point, the only reason mine worked was because i had such good filtration

as long as your smart, you'll be fine with more than 'recommended' fish, i have 5 for now, but will get 6 with the addition of a mature perc in a few months. I have two filters and no skimmer. and i do monthly water changes, 3 of the fish have been in there for 10 -11 months. Mine dont produce much bioload though, keep that in mind when picking fish. and a lawnmower will need alot of rockwork with algae in a 30, i was gonna get one, but they produce ALOT of waste (raises bioload). firefish, shrimpgobies.... those produce very VERY little waste and barely contribute to bioload.
