Smile Saddle Valentini Puffer

I LOVE puffers. I was reading about the saddle valentini and they are listed as "peaceful" and don't require near as big of tank as most.. i am going to set up a 20gal nano and wanted to incorporate one in my tank. Anybody have experience keeping one? I would love to hear about it! Also, want to make sure it be okay with a pair of clown fish?

I answered you in your other thread on this. You need to go with a 30 gal min.

I have a valentini and a 20 long is too small. No problems with clownfish but won't survive in a tank that size.

Agree with the others. Maybe a leopard toby would be ok in a 20. I think Valentina are one of the bigger tobies.
