Puffer and damsel

Will my porcupine puffer eat my domino damsel?

It depends....
Porkies are rather shy puffers. If you damsel is fast and can hold his own against tough fish then I think he'd be ok.

What fish do you keep with your puffers?

None, but I don't have any puffers in pure SW at the moment.

how much should I feed the porcupine? I am feeding him frozen brine shrimp, 1 cube twice a day. Would you keep fish with the puffer, and which ones if you would?

How big is your porky? Variety is always best for a puffer's diet.
In a 30 gal I wouldn't keep anything with him. In say, a 150g, there are many possibilities. For example, clowns, non-piscivorous eels, wrasses, blennies, etc... although of course there are no guarantees that the particular puffer will take to those fish.

Put the damsel and puffer back together. The puffer turned dark green and went after the damsel. I positioned live rock and plants so the puffer couldn't reach the damsel.

Wow... I have a lot of friends from Princeton. I graduated from Tazewell in 96 but lived in Princeton for over half of my high school years.

My porcupine is about 6" long and about 3" wide.

So he's a pretty good size, but far from full-grown. I think a cube worth should be good. Just make sure his tummy gets full

It was Allen, I didn't get married until I moved to TN in 2001.
I always say that because I dated a jerk from princeton who has the same last name as me (now) and I don't want to be connected to him in any way.
