How Many And What Type Of Puffer

[STEWARDSONS]

Wjen my rio 125 is cycled I would like to possibly add a few figure 8 or green spotted puffers to it.

I was just wondering which one and how many would be best. I'm using the standard juwel internal filter.

I was hoping to maybe put a few bumble bee goby in there too.

Ideas on possible numbers?

It all depends on weather you want to go full Marine, because GSP are best kept in full marine water, where as F8's are best kept in low end Brakish water.

Number wise I kept two F8's in a 100 liter tank and they got on fine, remember puffers require heavy filtration due to their messy eating habits, so you may want to invest in a decent external filter to make sure the water is kept as clean as possible.

Regarding the Bumble Bee Goby's, as long as the tank has plenty of hiding places you should be able to keep 2-3 along with the puffers but again you may want to upgrade your filter.

I miss my F8's a lot

You could have a low salinity system with 2 figure 8's or single GSP in a SG1.012+(@25DegC) system. People say GSP's do best in marine because once you get to a high end Brackish system the water changes get expensive, with live rock and a skimmer you don't need to change as much water. That and reportedly GSP sperm is only valid in sea water.
