Puffers aren't hard to maintain but it seems like you're rushing into this hobby pretty quickly without a lot of knowledge of how it works. They also do not bode well with clean up crews which I saw you asking about earlier. Take your time and let it cycle and figure out whether you want a fish only with life rock or a reef tank.

Bluntly put, but sound advice. I really wish i had taken it slow first. Now i cant add any more fish, because i have a mean wrasse that i should have added last.

But its good that youre asking first instead of just buying it, so keep up the research and dont be afraid to ask any questions even if they seem too easy, i need something to do at 3am...

Oh ok thanks justin and just asking for future reference since I only want a fish only tank once it's completely done cycling which is taking time but would rather wait through all of the spikes then risk spending lots of money to see it go into the garbage. But thanks for the advise

Surgical- true I bumped into a lady who had just rushed into buying coral and not waiting to set up properly at a fish store and was paying big $$ just to try and save her things which deffinately made me reassure that waiting the time is going to be the best thing

Nah there easy but can get aggressive. Mine is a total pig eats frozen food and I feed him krill twice a month so he won't get hooked on it and also silversides.

There are some that have smaller mouths that I have seen in reefs. Smaller Valentini puffers come to mind.
