the tank is too small for the buterlfy.

the porcupine puffers will grow bigger than Nerf footballs.

the angle will also outgrow the tank. IF it hasnt already.

I see that you are using bleached coral skeletons as your decoration. I hope you have a good wet dry and/or skimmer. puffers are messy eaters and expect them to foul the tank. HUGE hermits may help keep the bottom fairly clear of all the food they will shred but tehn again evan they may not be safe from the porcupine puffers as they grow.

where do I get all this crazy garbage I am spouting?

BTW all of the fish you selected rate 4 for aquarium sutabilty with 5 being the highest. that is pretty good. If you ever set up the "big tank" that I am sure you are about to tell us all about then they should do fine.

IMO fish only tanks can be set up with out live rock but with the porcupine puffers you need to make sure your filtraition is beefy enough to handle things.


Good luck and your fish do look very pretty
