Fahaka Cost
Fahaka Cost
My mom recently got a fahaka puffer but she accidentally ordered two. She said i could have the other one but i am insure if i should take him. He is about an inch long right now but i know they get huge. As a person about to start college i just want to know the average cost for feeding him as he grows and when he is full grown.

Re: Fahaka Cost
It's not really feeding that is the problem. You can buy most of what he eats in the produce dept of a grocery store. It's the moving back & forth to & from college with a fish that grows VERY quickly & will eventually need a 120g tank, minimally.
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

Right, i will be living at home for the entirety of college. I have the means to get a bigger tank when that time comes.

Re: Fahaka Cost
Great to hear but these fish can live up to 20 years. After your 4 years in college--then what?

Re: Fahaka Cost
Moving a puffer 6+ absolutely sucks so I wouldnt wait to long. I would get a drilled tank and make water changes pretty much automated. Your time will be at a premium
