I could have posted this in the nano section, but it's more of question of potential fish.. so I guess it works here also.
I have a 5.5 gallon nano (not yet cycled, I'm just thinking of possibilities for when it's ready). I'm brand new to the saltwater fish hobby, though have been involved in freshwater for several years, and the stocking differences can be confusing
So anyway...
I really like a couple of the puffers that I've seen at my LFS - one being the Valentini Puffer. After reading up more, I noticed that there are several others that are just as beautiful, but remain anywhere from 1.5-3".
Would these fish be too cramped in a tank of my size if they were the only fish in there? If not, what are some other possibilities for my tank? I've had brackish puffers before (currently a figure eight) and I think they are my favourite fish.. I just love their personalities, and if I can't have a puffer, I'd like the closest thing personality wise.
Thanks for the advice
