Considering Fahaka

Post by Poofer »

Hey everyone! I am considering a Fahaka puffer as they are one of my dream fish! I'm trying to find as much info on them as possible but am finding varying information. The only consistencies I've seen is that they get about 18 inches and they don't have tankmates, just extra food. Can anyone tell me more about these guys? Ideal substrate? Ability to keep plants? Flow rate in the tank? the actual necessary tank size? etc. etc. Just want to make sure ill be able to do it right for the fish I want more than anything. Not worried about set up costs because ill do it over time before I even get the puffer. Appreciate any and all advice y'all have for me! :D

Edit: Are there ANY bottom feeders or anything else I could use as a cleanup crew?
