Below are some pictures of my Fahaka, who had just move into the tank belonging to my ex-arrowhead.

He's cute! How big is he? What is the size of the tank he's living in?

Got a complete tank-shot?

[RedPeasant]

Its around 9cm, living in a 55l. Its hard to get a tank shot as I just moved him over from another tank so will have to give it sometime to settle down.

cute puffer indeed, makes me wish i could get mine already, but just out of curiosity, you by any chance planning on moving him when he gets older?

[Christemo]

You're really going to have to move him soon into a much larger tank.

You know I am 100% sure that people are going to tell me that I must move my puffer to a larger tank when I posted my tank size. I am glad that you guys are concern but it really do get on my nerve sometime.

Currently it is still small and i believe it can still live comfortably for another 2 to 3 months in the 55l tank. Besides I am already preparing a 180l tank for it so guys chill out.

That's still only 47 gallons. Sorry for trying to help. Jeez.

Hey, I don't mean to be rude. Its just that I got a bit pissed off by people who keep telling me to change the tank size.

Because a 20 gallon tank is no where near appropriate for a fahaka. We're trying to help you keep your fish alive.

But you have to understand that my fahaka is only 9 cm and it make more sense in keeping it in a small tank for now than a bigger one.

^ Don't take this the wrong way, since i'm not trying to argue with you , instead just sharing a thought i've had about this, since i'm planning on getting a 180G tank, and putting a fahaka in it once its setup...

But in theory If you gave your Fahaka a bigger tank sooner in life, wouldn't there be a better chance he could get even bigger than the average 12 - 13" and possibly reach its full size of 18"+ when its mature based on the fact that it would give him more space to move around and grow without any restrictions?

Just my 0.2cents

Trust me your Fahaka will grow faster than you think, mine has almost doubled in size since I got him about 2 months ago. He is currently in a 50g and I am in the process of putting together a 220g for him.

Cute little fellow. I had my fahaka in a 29g for a little over a month. I used the 29 as a qt. Fahaka's will grow about 1" every month until they reach about 12". Mine grew between 6-7 inches in 6 months. They grow really quickly.
