Cichlids are pretty basic, the can eat alot, but are pretty easy. Just cant keep them with many other things besides other cichlids. Brakish puffers arnt to bad, but you have to have the water correct. And make sure you get them from somewhere that already has them in brackish not FW. They as well should only be kept with themselves, but they are really cool fish.
