Dogface Puffer and Blenny

[Brett Banning]

I have a small dogface puffer and was looking to buy a blenny. currently, i have a small damsel in the tank now with the puffer and are getting along perfectly. the puffer is even getting along with the hermit crabs, but occasionally takes a snap at my snail. i was wondering how well the blend will get along with the puffer, anybody know if they would be ok together??

Puffers can be nippy. Dogface puffers can get increasingly aggressive as they grow. I would be reluctant to add a blenny to a tank with one.

How big is the tank? How big is the puffer? Puffers will leave many fish alone as long as they are not hungry or feel threatened. As for your crabs ans snails they will not last as that is part of a puffers diet. The main think is how big is this tank because a small tank will increase the risk of problems. Plus that damsel might know enough to leave a puffer alone but the blenny might be an easy target to bully.
