I agree on blue spotsDo you think pretty much any other Toby is gonna give me a higher chance of success. If that is the case, it kinda sucks because I think blue spots are by far the best looking
You agree that they are the best looking or that they are the least likely to show aggression?I agree on blue spots
Both, The blue spots are pretty notorious with the local fish stores around me, for nipping both fins and corals.You agree that they are the best looking or that they are the least likely to show aggression?

I felt the same way you didSometimes you just don't want to accept reality. I really want one of these, but all of the evidence suggest it's going to be a problem. I kept saying to myself that i'll be different for me. I can make it work. No i can't. Okay, I'm done with the puffer and onward to finding another fish that will work. thx.
Would a leopard Toby be a little less aggressive?
It’s leopard because of the spots. I know everything has the ability to, I just want to know what will give me my best odds.I think "leopard" would be your first clue. From everything I've read, any puffer can/will have the tendency to nip at both fish and corals.

Nah. No fun hereJust having a little fun... nothing malicious. I think it all depends on the individual puffer. Have i read of success stories? Yes. But you won't know until you introduce the fish to your tank.
I have a Valentini in my softie tank (mushrooms, leathers and zoas/palys). No issues ever.
I’m giving my guy another shot in the display where there is more rock and some more fish to distract him and see how he does. Hopefully he will be okay but I will post results in about a monthThx, Cindy. Just when I had convinced myself not to get one because they can/are a problem, you come along and tell me no problem. Maybe some day.
Ive had my valentini puffer for 3 yrs now....he developed a taste for my clean-up crew..especially my nasarius snails. And then caught him nipping at my sps. I found if i keep him fed well with clams and mussels...he will stay away from my coral and the clean-up crew.
