Fahaka Puffer

Post by Coronaman »

Since I can't get an Mbu for my 125, I'm gonna get a Fahaka, but I have some questions. Can I put him in with a Pig Nose puffer, or any of the puffers that berry themselves in sand? or will my Fahaka pick on it. Also, would any small stingrays like T-cups be OK with it?

I wouldn't suggest keeping a killer like the fahaka, with any fish you value & definately not with any other puffers.

Sand is not necessary for these fish at larger sizes. A PITA to clean in a large tank.

I would not go with any species labeled 'tea cup' rays. They are named that due to their size and it is a rareity for them to survive in captivity in a tank other then what they hatched in.
