i plan to setup a BW tank of about 29-gallons. I will have a violet goby,2 bummble bee gobies, mollies, and i want to keep something unusual with them like a puffer. what would be a good suggestion.

Most puffers will not be a good tankmate for those fish. they are best kept in a species only tank. You might be able to get away with a figure 8 though.

DPs are pure freshwater. However, you can aclimate the mollies and bb gobies to freshwater if you so desire. But any species of puffer would have trouble with mollies. Nice long fins that are asking for a biting.

The violet goby will grow too large for the tank and eventually attempt to eat all you inhabitants, including the F8. I forget whether or not the tetratoxin remains on said fish in the home aquarium, but neither outcome will be good.
