Would this be pushing it...

[cesar]

I was told by a LFS employee (i dont know why I listen to them), but I was told that i could have a blue dot puffer in my 20g H tank. Does this sound right or does it sound like he just wants to sell. I read that these puffers would be ok in a tank that is 30g. But is a 20H pushing it?

puffer's eat the coral so your reef tank won't last to lonf after you get him.
they are nice in a fish only tank

witfulls on the money, maybe as a solo specimen he'd be fine but definately not in the reef tank, or with any other fish in a 20g

I have a valentino and thinking bout adding a blue spotted or dragon puffer...

Yes something does smell funny there. I thought it was too good to be true

Oh by the way that puffer was going to go into a FOWLR tank. No coral in there at all. But I do have 3 fishes in there already so I guess that puffer is not going to work.
