29 SW

recently made my 29gallon brackish tank a full saltwater, and currently got a fugu puffer in it with about 6-8 lbs. of live rock. i was wondering what other small fish/inverts i should stock. i do plan on gettin a small amount of coral maybe some of the strong stinging type so my puffer and other fish wont bother it. what suggestions for the tank do u guys got for fish/inverts/corals?

I have always loved watching the colorful cleaner shrimp. They add a lot of intrest to any SW tank IMO.

yeah i loveee those pepermint shrimp but im worried about my fugu eating it becuase puffers love shellfish

Cleaner shrimp would become a puffer snack in a second.

in 29 i think a puffer would be about it. you don't have alot of live rock and they are pretty messy fish.
i don't know how powerful of a beak fugus have but you could maybe get away with a crab of some sort and echinoderms.
for fish anyhting that won't get it's @$$ handed to it would/should be fine. and that fits in a 29 of course

I still say that any crustacean will quickly become a puffer snack.

thats the usuall for puffers attitudes, but my fugu was housed with a demsel and a large crag and was totally fine. he only seems aggresive when i throw in some krill.
