Dog face puffer needs at least 90 gallon so it would be ok in that size tank. If you have a puffer you can't have any CUC like shrimps as they will be an expensive dinner. You will need to invest in a good skimmer as puffers are messy and produce a lot of waste. Can't comment on the other fish...

Some photos, bit blurry as they are camera shy and very quick -

To be honest not seen them in the South West cheaper than that. No pistol shrimp yet will keep a look out for one :)

Paid £65 for this pair :o

They are a nice pair, paid over the odds but don't mind for quality. They are already doing their war dancing / squabbling. Got a nice watchman goby too :)

I ended up getting some juvenile Clarkii Clowns. Will take some pics tomorrow will let them settle in first.

How big is the Biorb life? My mum used to have the standard Biorb and i personally wouldn't keep any clownfish in that. What type of clownfish are you thinking of? They do grow quite large.

Thanks Donya glad I didn't get them. Would be gutted if I bought them and they died a couple of months later. I will wait for something else to catch my eye preferably something not as expensive.

They are nice fish, not seen anything like it in the UK.

TBF the female with pop eye was hiding in the anenome a lot and only came out once. They prob haven't noticed.

They were lovely fish but like you say I was put off by the price. The female was huge though lol.

Also like the tomato clowns but never really see them in the South West. The saddlebacks were really nice gutted the female had Pop eye. I have a 55 gallon so no issues there.

I lost my common clowns a couple of weeks ago and looking to replace them. I was in a LFS today and came across a pair of Maroons. The female was huge and a good 5 to 6 inches, I have never seen clowns this big. When I enquired to the cost I was quoted £95 which I though was a bit steep...

Kick him in the nuts and tell him you want your money back.....

Gutted, I have my own ammonia test kits and very rarely use it now to be fair. It's the first thing I check though if the fish don't look well!
