I have a 9" anthron meg (golden) and I am setting up a 190g full hex acrylic tank. I have been reading that puffers and acrylics don't mix well due to the beak grinding on the acrylic. I am interested in people's experience putting puffers in acrylic and would love to see some pics.
Thanks
Anyone have pics of what a puffer can do to acrylic?

Re: Anyone have pics of what a puffer can do to acrylic?
I have kept an A. Modestus in a 55G acrylic with no problems. I am currently keeping my A. Silus in a 25G acrylic and my fahaka, Lurch, in a 100G acrylic with no problems. Hope this helps.saltyESQ wrote:I have a 9" anthron meg (golden) and I am setting up a 190g full hex acrylic tank.
