dog face?

Post by blackghostknife »

I have some sw friends that love puffers but in my opinion really don't know what they are doing. They have a 12" dog face in a 30 gallon. i told them it needs at least a 90 wouldn't you say? :lilhelp:

12inches, isn't that his full size. I thought it wouldn't have grown that big in a 30g

Your friend must have gotten the puffer as a 12" adult.
Kind regards,

I showed them your posts and they actually got it as an 11 incher. They say thank you for the advice and to tell you they will be upgrading.
