small puffers?

[Mr. Scratch]

i doubt anything less than a 30 should be used, but to each his own. I've had several and after some research and experience i realized they are quite messy, can be quite hostile to inverts, nip corals, other fish and create huge amounts of waste for a fish their size, for to grow the way they should they need a lot of food. Which is the reason i no longer keep them, well i have a little one i'm giving away but thats it (it was a gift from someone who should know better then to buy a fish for someone as a gift)

great thanks for the help everyone.

Yeah, that might be true. I had a lot of FW puffers, so big water changes to offset their mess wasn't so much of an issue. Then again, an oversized skimmer and larger weekly water changes on a smaller tank should do the trick. I guess it depends on how much time you want to spend maintaining the tank. I was spending way too much time doing water changes back when I had a lot of FW tanks set up, so I downsized.

I knew a guy who had a small puffer in a 10 gallon tall tank. apparently it did well until the tank crashed. Go figure...
