Hi everyone!
I've had tiny baby green figure eight puffers in the past, I have a 24",20",20" small tank for my yabbies, but I have a 60",20",24" tank and I was wonder what gallon size would that be? It's empty at the moment but I have been doing research on fahaka puffers and I'm interested in one ATM. I was just wondering if my tank size would be big enough or would I need bigger? I've tried asking people here in Hong long about gallons but not really understanding the language is hard to figure a lot of things out here! Hope there's some replies! Thanks

That tank sounds about right, for a fahaka.

124 gallons gross, if my maths skills still work
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Re: New to this... Size of my tank??
Thanks people! It's a bit sad ATM in that tank just spent 5hours putting countless buckets of water in! Any one know the biggest difference between a mbu puffer and a fakaha now? Is it just mbu grow bigger? If it is I will stick with the fahaka! The problem is being in hk it looks like a two month wait for it to come in to stock!! and it's sick that my filter is bigger than my dog
