2 large puffers in 92 gallons.

Why is it that the most beautiful fish fall into the hands of those who refuse to house them properly?

I would brake my right arm for an immaculate and I would give up eating to save money for the proper tank and equipment.

So what is the problem? You have give me no chance to explain anything. I'm new to puffers (and Burrfish!) If i'm doing somthing wrong tell me. Don't just have a go at me.

Porcupine puffer = 120+ gallons (454 L) (by itself)

Immaculate = 100-120+ gallons (416-454L) (by itself)

You will have water quality issues in a tank (350L) that small eventually.

A corner tank is not ideal because these puffers are active back and for swimmers. The foot print of a corner tank is all wrong.

In addition, puffers of different species should never be housed together as they are aggressive and territorial. With age they become more aggressive and can tear each other apart.

Puffers generally don't make good tank mates with each other. It usually ends very badly, especially when they mature & get more aggressive towards each other. Also, as adults these puffers will each need a tank the size they are both in now.

The burrfish i have had for a while and is about 4 inches and the puffer is maybe 7 inches and i have him because my mates tank cracked. I'm looking for a 6ft tank for them as we speak.

PC, that's a burrfish, not a porc--they don't get as large.

It's not a porc puffer, it's a burrfish possibly birdbeak

Sorry Puffer punk, we both posted at the same time. If its going to cause a problem i will pass on the immaculate puffer. I got stuck with him a few days ago.

Might be... I'm not 100% up on the odball burrfish species.
