i am wanting to get a puffy fish but dont know which one to choose

ive been looking at the cute porkypine puffers and the Blue Spotted Puffer...

the puffer would be going in my 180 reef

No puffers are reef safe, even with softies. I was OK with a valentini with softies but you never know with a puffer.

Puffers will fight that rabid fish to the death on who can eat more of your stuff!!! lol

 

[fragboy94]

yes i know theyre not reef safe but i want one soo bad plus my tank is like 95% sps and lps the other 5% can kma lol

That's exactly what they'll chew on. If you want one so bad, how about setting up a 30g for a toby?

Imo, don't get a puffer, unless you're gonna set up a tank specifically for it.

 

[Pufferpunk]

I wouldn't put a puffer in an aggressive tank. they should be the "show fish", with smaller dithers that are fast enough to get away from the puffer.

But you didn't keep them all to adulthood.
