valentini

Hi, I have a 35 gallon with just a few fish, mostly corals. I already have a valentini & a Randall’s goby. I am wondering whether a pistol shrimp would be safe with the puffer in the tank. This one has eaten all of my emerald crabs. I’m not sure if the shrimp & goby will be able to hold their...

Hi, Clown fish in third day of hiding. I've had a valentini puffer in my 30 gallon tank for about two weeks. I ran out of food for two days and my mandarin goby went missing. The first day I had the puffer, it devoured my emerald crabs. Now my typically belligerent clown fish (had for about a...

Hi, all! I'm new here as I just made an account, but I've been creeping for quite some time since starting to keep marine fish 8 years ago. Thank you all for everything I've learned! This may not be exactly the correct forum to post this, but I figured if anyone knows if this is breeding...

I have had a valentini puffer for about 9 months now. He has been a great tank mate. I have been looking through post on them in here since I got him. Reef safe? Thats going to depend on your tank and timing of getting him. Mine is reef safe but he does occasionally pick at a coral but not...

I just got this puffer in the mail today, the bag had hardly any air in it so I tried to work fast. I floated him for about 10 min and drip acclimated him for I’d say 45min doubling the water volume twice. I did not net him or remove him from the water he did not puff up at all. He was swimming...

Hey everyone, I noticed him beginning to lay on the sand a little bit a few days ago. Now today he has basically been in the same spot on the sandbed. Any input would be helpful. I’m planning to do a water change tonight, and test my water tomorrow. I do have API general cure and Seachem Focus...

I am struggling trying to provide a varied diet for my valentini puffer. He doesn't touch flake or pellets. He eats 2-3 mysis/krill TOPS and after that will only accept brine. I purchased selcon and garlic xtreme to soak the food and it has no impact on the amount of mysis/krill he will eat. I...
