The Puffer Forum

I know I've seen that they can get up to 18''. However, what seems to be the average size of those kept in aquariums? I ask this because I currently have a 3'' specimen in my 90 gallon and was wondering just how big he/she may get. Would a 90 gallon tank really be too small for one fish assuming the...

I got my GSP and Figure 8 at walmart. Do they ever carry Ceylons and if so, can they thrive with green spotted puffers?

I've had olive nerites in my cichlid tank. I collected them in 4 years ago when I lived in Florida. Most of them are still going strong. I had them with my african cichlids but just recently moved out my cichilds and put in my Fahaka. Not sure how well they'll hold up now. Also, in terms of breeding...

I had a cichlid tank prior to getting my Fahaka and it's totally infested with Malaysian Trumpet Snails. I removed all my cichlids from the 90 gallon and put my Fahaka in there with the trumpets. I also have some olive nerites that I collected from Florida about 4 years ago. So far, my Fahaka (only ...

I also just got a puffer (moved all of my cichlids out) and put the Fahaka in a 90 gallon. Would that be large enough for one Fahaka or will I have to upgrade?

I also purchased a juvenile Fahaka from Danny at TNT (great seller), and was hoping to breed some snails as food. I currently have my Fahaka in a tank with what appears to be hundreds of Malaysian Trumpet Snails (they had already been in my 90 gallon tank when I had my African Cichlids in it). I've ...

What about tetras? I've seen a few videos on youtube where Fahakas were housed with much smaller neon tetras, etc. The tetras moved in to pick off any scraps left over after the puffer ate. This would seem to be a decent idea? No?

I have one juvenile Fahaka about 3'' long and I was wondering if there are any other fishes that I could put in with him. I have lots of African Cichlids but I removed them from the 90 gallon when I put my Fahaka in, for fear that they would get bitten. Has anyone had any success with companion spec...

What would be the least expensive but most practical diet to feed a Fahaka. I can culture MTSnails but I was hoping there was something more economical. Any suggestions now that my meal worm idea has been shot down?
