ok im going into marine again and im going tog et a jewel puffer or somthing i realy like the jewel puffer and i want to know what would be a good tank mate for him/her?

Im going to have sea weed growing a couple bits a live rock and some hermits(are these okey) it will be in a 33gallon tank with a power head and a fluval 3+ for water movment and filteration .

My salinaty is going to be 1.019-1.021 will this be okey for this type of puffer?

For wood it will get cockils and snails 2-3 times a week with brine shrimp and mysis shrimp ect. will do 10% weekly water chages for him/her.

I was looking into another type of puffer as well the 'Dog faced puffer' for the porupin puffer could i get these puffer in a 33? or is it one or the other? i would like a couple of puffer is possible. i CANT upgrade untill i get my own house (im only 13)!!!!

Thanks for your help and advise! Malawi

I don't know what a jewel puffer is, but a 30gal is waaayy to small for a dogface or a porc.

Canthigaster solandri: Inhabits intertidal reef flats, lagoon and seaward reefs. Occurs over open barren areas, also among corals and under ledges. Often found in pairs, sometimes in small groups. Feeds mainly on filamentous red and green algae and coralline red algae but also on corals, tunicates, mollusks, echinoderms, polychaetes, crustaceans and bryozoans. Grows to 4 1/2".

well done pufferpunk!!!

anyway what would be good with this puffer?

From what I hear, tobys are pretty mean. Not too sure about tankmates. Just make suere you have plenty of veggies for them to eat.

ok is there any other type of puffer that would be okey in that size of tank i mean in SW? its a 30x13x18= 30us gallons.

The only smaller SW puffers I know of are the tobies.
