hey guys just some more info on the fish, right now i have the albino pleco with some puffers so he doesn't starve, at his current small size those are the only fish i could put with him that wont kill him. those puffers are neat though, everyone thinks that they live in saltwater or brackish, i proved them wrong. also im setting up a new 20 gallon tank with mickey mouse platys so does anyone know where to get mickey mouse platys.

Just about any major chain petstore sells them, petco, petsmart, and i know my LFS wont carry them because they're so "generic", but most will.

Dragon Gobies are brackish so they wouldn't be happy with the current fish you have. Some stores have them in freshwater, but they will live longest and healthiest in brackish conditions.

A 20 gallon is too small for a dragon goby, IMO. And by the way, your puffers are figure-8 puffers, which ARE brackish and not freshwater. Cute fish though!
