Ok, so I moved my 2 damsels from my 29 gal upstairs to the new 30 gallon hex in my kids play room to start the cycle. So I had to restock my one 29 gal.
We went to the LFS. We love puffers and were looking at those, but they were a little too expensive, and they've raised their prices on clowns. They had a good sized Arc Eye Hawkfish for $25 so we picked him up. So we wanted a couple of the cheaper puffers.
But they sold us what seem to be Green Spotted Puffers, which not until we got them home and in the tank did we find out they are brackish fish, not full SW. The guy, who has been very good in the past, didn't seem to think anything of it when he sold them to us knowing it is a SW tank.
The fish seem to be doing very well. They are very playful already. Very friendly and appear to be in good health. They are eating well too (they loved the frozen snow crab chunk I dropped in for them, they went right for it). In fact, they "fought" with the Hawk over it (wasn't much of a fight, the Hawk woosed out).
Am I missing something here? I'll try to post a pic of them when my wife gets the pics loaded.
For now, they look very much like this:
