Won't your puffer eat your clowns?

puffers don't eat other fish, whoever told you that is silly

Goby and Clowns, then Tangs.

Having kept Porcupine Puffers I am reluctant to guess, it's not a fish I would mix in with the group you want.

 

[Kamden Uelton]

I would add the Gobie first so he can establish his burrow if he's a burrowing one, add the clowns, the tang, and finally the puffer

No they don't but they can sure inflict damage and harass them to death once the puffer reaches maturity.

that is why you always add the more Aggressive fish last and buy them smaller so they aren't aggressive at the time and learn to live with their new tankmates.

Thanks everyone, is there a certain order for the tangs? Or does it not matter? Or all at once? Plan on having yellow, PB and regal

 

[Kamden Uelton]

well first how big is the tank?

 

[19jonesy86]

1000l/300g

 

[Kamden Uelton]

lucky! I would add the tangs all at once to avoid the aggression thing tangs seem to have but i'n not good with fish you might have to ask someone else

2 on this.

I've kept freshwater puffers and they're among the meanest fish I've ever had. I stopped keeping them with other fish due to them literally taking chunks out of other fish, not nice to see cichlids with a whole tail missing etc

wow really? My Freshwater Dwarf Puffer is scared of EVERYTHING he'll hide in his Floating Plants during feeding because the Tetras go crazy I have to target feed him, every Puffer I end up with is scared of everything

I've got green spotted puffers. the only puffer I've seen be nice is the pea puffer which I think is the one you may have lol.

I plan to slowly acclimate one of my green spotted puffers to saltwater as they're brackish as juniors and move over to saltier waters as adults. I've seen a few living happily in reefs and fowlrs so would like to try it, apparently they really mellow out in saltwater.

Everything I've read about Pea Puffers/Dwarf Puffers says they are aggressive and will kill larger fish, Only hard thing about them is getting them to eat. Good luck on your GSP they get a lot bigger in saltwater my LFS had a 7 inch puffer i asked what it was and they said Green Spotted Puffer
