Some Fahaka Confusion

Post by GSPicthus »

I have been researching Fahaka's. I am hoping to get one in the next year or so. I do know how big they get and Tank requirements.

Where the confusion comes is from everything I have been reading says they are fresh water puffers. But the recommended food is human quality sea food? If they are fresh water they wouldn't be eating seafood in the wild. I assume they would be eating snails, crayfish and other fish. Someone please educate me on the feeding of Fahakas.

Forgive me I just realized I mistakenly posted this in the Brackish section.

Seafood is a generic term. Such departments or shops sell human-quality food from fresh, brackish, and salt water.

My Fahakas ate foods from FW, SW and BW sources, most from one local store.
