yes they are nocturnal fish and they are typically a schooling + reef fish but anything can be a tank species tbh as long as you have the right food, tank size, parameters, etc.. the way i look at it is salt water aquariums is just like growing cannabis but much harder/time consuming/ and money invested into it. it wasn't my choice to get them though i wanted another puffer but i wasn't buying my parents were so i was like okay you guys choose the fish. i just wanted another puffer but chances are one of um would have died. the puffer i have now has a temper but it wasn't as bad as my trigger fish that thing and my puffer would go at it to the point if they didn't stop i would have ended up rehoming one of them most likely the trigger as well.

been in the hobby since i was 5 years old or younger even and im 26 now so it's been a long time. it's cool but just taking care of the fish alone is hard work. fresh water isn't too bad but once you get into brackish water and salt water tanks thats when the real money sink and time investment begins
I always wanted a saltwater tank, but the cost of equipment to do it correctly plus the amount of work it takes to maintain it convinced me it wasn't for me. I had an improvised one when we were stationed on Guam that I just swapped the water out with fresh sea water once a week, it kept fish alive for awhile and when one died I just went fishing with really small hooks and brought a new fish home. Best one was a type of wrasse that was psychedelic colored. Had a Picasso and Wedge Tail trigger at one time. I have had freshwater tanks forever, the grandkids like to sit and look at the fish.

All I know is that Acetone will make you aware of any small break in your skin. Used it to clean motorcycle parts.
It really cleans up oily skin... you can go wash your face with the strongest soap you have, then put some acetone on some cotton wool and wipe your face... it still comes off dirty.
Our one pharmacy chain sold a product based on the shit in the 80s, the smell was unmistakable. It was called 10 o 6

I forgot to mention it is a public holiday here today... no idea what for though... I worked harder than usual
