small puffers?

[Kabong]

5" is about as small as salt water puffer's come
Saddle Valentini Puffer is probably your best option for small SW puffer.

great thanks. I guess there goes my idea of having a small puffer in a 10 gal.

Valentini should not get more than 4 inches, the saddle puffer gets 5 inches or so...and the mimic saddle is about 4 as well.
but even these little guys are mean...

[marcingo]

i dont mind them being mean- since it would be the only fish in the tank. But do you think they would be ok in the 10? Probably not hey.

[Chaloupa]

my little Valentini isn't mean at all...he keeps to himself and always has...don't know that I would want him in a 10g though...he does enjoy a good fast swim along the length of the tank!

[Pan]

wow should have seen my valentini take off after my little goby, killed a fire shrimp as well....little bugger. He is cute though, like 1.5 times the size of my thumb

Some of those brackish puffers can acclimate to full salt. I know the green spotted puffer is capable of full salt. 10 gal is a bit harsh for these little guys, they are quite active swimmers, and messy eaters. So you're prob. looking at a water change every other day.
