I have been told that we are to get a baby porc, no exceptions LOL. So, if the rest of the tankmates are larger, when we get him, and he grows up with them, my thinking is that they should get along

The baby porcs are the most adorable thing ever!!! It looks like they have the same sized eyes as my big guy, and they have to grow into them. I wish I got a baby but Griff was my first new fish into the 260g and my hubby wanted me to get him. I took one look a Griffie and was in love...

I did read the baby puffers do eat other fish when they are growing up sometimes... however at least you won't be mortified when you see him take a poop and find a long term fish in there...

Good luck in finding a nice fat baby puffer and make sure to post pictures of the little dude.

Is there any puffer's that would be suitable for his 45g besides a valentini?
Perhaps a brackish water species?

He is setting up a 150g and the puffer would go in there. Lots of room for a young puffer.

Griff is awesome as usual, eating like a pig, and hunting snails all night. He just refuses to stop eating them and gets indigestion and has to upchuck the shells. I decided to try adding a pair of scooter blennies to the tank, and see if they would be a snack or not... they as as happy as can be. His colour is darkening now from a pale beige to a dark beige with copper banding and black spots. He is rather handsome and always robust.

The lights just went out awhile ago and under the moonlights, I can see the fire shrimp has come out to sit on Griffie. I wish I had a night camera to shoot some pictures since it is rather unbelievable.

If you have the space for a puffer and want a tank celebrity, get a puffer. I could probably have the rarest and most desirable fish there is, but nobody would notice. Every single person that walks in the doors is always "OMG you have a puffer!!"

He is also the easiest and toughest fish you could possibly want... I would get a little baby puffer... but do not know the survival rates on young porcs. Griffie has been pretty bomb proof. I am glad I stuck with him for so long. Who knew I could have him with small fish now AND he has a fire shrimp mascot.
