I recently bought a Valentini puffer for my 20L tank. My tank has been established for about 5 month's now. No other habitant's in the tank. Since the valentini is small, it does not pick on any of the crab's or snail's. Good eater and very active.
I am having a hard time deciding on a few thing's. Not even sure if i should do these things or no.
Also please keep in mind that when the puffer get's big, or if I do decide to go fully reef, i will give the puffer away in summer
(although i would not want to )
1) Can i add any coral's ? Maybe like polyp's, or Mushroom's ? (If puffer get's big and then nip's at them, i'm ready to give him to someone else, )
2) Can i add any other fish with him ? He's only abt 2" right now. I was thinking of either a Dwarf lion or a Flame angel. I would go dwarf lion only if i can't keep ANY coral's with the puffer. Else i would prefer a Blenny/Goby (for sand) and a Flame angel for color. I have Lots of hiding place's in my tank for the blenny/Goby.
3) the puffer eat's and love's Frozen Brine shrimp soaked in Garlic. Should I feed it anything else ? i tried flakes but he does not seem to like them at all.
4) I have good (decent) lighting for now, but do not add any addictives for coraline algae growth. I plan to do so today. Good/bad ?
Any other suggestion's would be really great. And i'm sorry to repeat these same question's if they've been asked before, but I could all/appropriate answer's via search.
Thank's
