min tank size?
what is the actual min tank size for a banana puffer? live aquaria says 125 but I am skeptical.
The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang the best. Use the talents you possess.

Re: min tank size?
Ya Id say very min is 120(better foot print then a 125 imho), cause at that size thats no different then a Fahaka. Even though Im wanting to step up to a 180 for Bloat

Puffers are so pretty!
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

Re: min tank size?
nope. I saw them online and was just wondering about their minimum tank size because live aquaria often gets that wrong.

Re: min tank size?
Arothron immaculatus should not be kept in anything less than a 180 IMO. Many recommend 150, though I feel that more width than is provided in a 150 for overall turning radius is beneficial. I wouldn't go with anything less than a 150, however. Good luck.
