Question about Valentini puffer

[bterry29]

I am setting up a 55g in my office and have been thinking about fish to put in it. I have always liked the looks of the valentini puffer. My question is this - if you put a puffer in a tank what do you use as a clean up crew? I've heard puffers eat snails, crabs, etc. so I don't know what a person would use as a cleanup crew.

most aggressive setups will not have a "cleanup crew." however I have 3 large hermits in my aggressive that are in with a 7 inch porc puffer, 5 inch stars and stripes puffer, and a zebra moray. Large hermits might be ok with your fish, I guess it just depends on the fish.

I have never had a Valentini pick on any hermits or snails unless their were very small.
