Puffer Tank? 55g

[zeke92]

Well i can't keep seahorses alive and i was wondering about having a puffer fish tank. besides the goby and the mollies, just puffers.
I know like a valentini is small and would fit. but would it and my current puffer get along? and how about a dogface would there not be enough room? and if i can only keep small puffers can i get a list of ones?
just wondering if a puffer tank would work and if a 55 is big enough.

The 55 would only be big enough for Tobies(Sharpnose Puffers). I don't see a problem putting different tobies together I had a buddy whose tank failed and I kept his valentini in my tank with my bluespot and they got along great (I am not positive just going off my expierence). A Dogface would get WAY too big for a 55

Yeah i got a blue spotted sharpnose i think. the one in my avatar.
i'll go look up some tobies ^.^
how many is the max for a 55g? i don't plan on filling it up with tobies..just wonderin

yeah from what I can see it looks like a bluespot, I would say 3-4 it really depends on you filtation Because I don't believe Tobies a territoral

yeah mine has gotten along with everyone but the shrimp but i think the shrimp is just scared of it. they usually get along now
i have a 280 emperor (i think) and a crappy protien skimmer 100

I'd go with a couple, you might try some green spot brackish puffers too.
