Cleaning Fish VS Puffers

Hi all, I will move my Figure8 Puffer to another tank Brackish. My question is what cleaning fish can be add in that tank?
I don't want my puffer eat them and they need to go in brackish water... maybe someone with puffers tank could tell me?

Thanks!

I don't know of any brackish 'cleaner' fish, but I suggest olive nerite snails to keep your tank clean

Really??!?! My GSPs try to eat the nerites and can't get at them. How in the world did the captain get ahold of them?

Anytime they were on the glass he'd knock them off. Then pushed them around till they were upside down on the bottom. And from there, much tactical hovering and jabbing till he could suck them out.

My puffs just tried to bite through the shell. When they couldn't do that they gave up and begged me for food instead lol

Its amazing to watch them problem solve. Though anytime the Captain gets a snail he goes into a beserk hunting mode flying all over the tank looking for more. And yet, he happily lives with two feeders (female endlers, tank raised) because they're too much effort to catch...heck, I wake up in the morning and he's sleeping with them!

I love that about puffers. They have such intelligence and personality
