Looking for info on Sphoeroides maculatus

Post by pinkfloydpuffer »

I have the opportunity to get a Sphoeroides maculatus from another hobbyist, but I'm having a heck of a time trying to find info on them. I need to know specifically what size tank they need, as well as if they will get along with GSP.
Anything you could tell me would be awesome. Thanks :)

This is what fishbase has to say about it. Not much info for a tank keeper though. And I've found fishbase not quite reliable when it comes to puffers.
