sell the bicher and there are a bunch of puffers you can get, that tank would fit a fahaka nicely, but i wouldn't put any puffers with a bicher

I really liked my ex and I's Polypterus Palmas, Phillip, but he crawled out to his death. Sadly, he didn't do much other than eat nightcrawlers and sit under a pile of lock-rocks, but he was cute. I would guess similar entertainment level to a lurker puffer though.

I was gonna say that but then we're discouraging getting a puffer on the puffer forum..... So yeah, sure, get a puffer.
