Brackish fish questions

[Blu3Shyft]

My wife has a 30 gallon tank that she wants to stock with brackish fish. Particularly 2 or 3 Figure 8 puffer fish. What could be good tank mates for them? We were thinking 2-3 Knight Gobies and maybe a larger molly or two? I've found other sites that say this is possible, though granted, not without risk.

Thoughts? Other suggestions?

Here is a good article on keeping figure 8 puffers. The Puffer Forum • The Puffer Library » III. The Figure Eight Puffer; Colorful, Comical, Compact Fish It is recommended to have 15 gallons for one and then 10 gallons per each additional puffer. The article also says it is best to start them out together. Puffers are great fish but take some research to successfully keep.

2 figure 8 in a tank at most in a 30g. You can also add some bumblebee gobies. Don't mix bumblebee gobies with knight gobies.

Any more fish than can cause more problems over the years of keeping your tank.

Knight gobies tend to do well in freshwater so I would choose the bumblebee gobies over the knight gobies
