I had aquired a Green Leopard Spot Puffer a few months back, and after
a bit of reading up on it, found out its really a sal****er fish. I set out to acclimate it over a period of time from FW to SW. It has been in 1.025/026 SG water for some time now and does not even compare to what it looked like in FW.......Anyway everything I have heard and been told and read says Puffers should not be placed in a reef type tank...I placed a bunch of corals (all softie stuf, like shrooms, zoos, leathers, xenia and GSP) in the tank as an experiient to see if what I heard holds true with this puffer species as well and so far he is ignoring the corals. I did pick up a few other fish to add to the tank and have them in a bare bottom QT for now. They include a snowflake eel of approx 6", an extremely small (1" or so) picasso trigger, and a red/white hawkfish. I was given a neon damsel, but not sure what I am gonna do with that fishk, but ts pretty with its vibrant electric blue color......but its a damsel just the same a fish I am not particularly fond of......I may throw it in the tank with the puffer and trigger and eel etc...jury still out on that one. Where ever I put it its still better that its intended fate by previous owner........flushed ! So whats the consensus of the puffer etc with corals? Are they doomed or what? I had triggers before that did not bother corals, but this is the first puffer. Infortunately not a lot is posted or written about them in regards to keeping them in a sal****er environment. Not really lots on them in freshwater either.... ------- I forgot more about ponds and koi than I'll ever know! |
