I LOVE the fourth pic down!!!! Saving it to my phone if that's ok! I can't get over how tiny he is knowing he will soon be a foot or so in length!
Never trust big puffers. The fingers you save may be your own. -RTR

Looking good. I would personally add a little more tall decor for exploring as he grows before he can shred you for messing with his home lol
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Yes fake plants and very well attached rock stacks/ driftwood etc. just make sure it's secure or the brute will demolish it. Some fahakas are scared of hands, mine thought they were food, not ideal lol

Oh wow... I'm assuming soon he would be able to take a nice chunk out.... He sulks at the bottom of the tank when I'm in there now but I realize that may not last forever...

I saw a video of a guy rubbing his MBU's belly, can you do that to a Fahaka? Or they bite?

It probably depends on the puffer hehe, mine is too small and is still scared of me... I would rather him stay away but rubbing his belly would be cool too... I just got a GoPro3+... first video.. it's horrible but still though I would share... I will get the hang of it someday

Nice video. What is that plant with big red leaves, is that real or plastic?
I had the honor of being the first one to comment on your vid :D

All of the plants are fake, my lfs had a big sale so we bought some Bio Orb plants, they are silk I think (not plastic) and were 30% off, they also come with a weighted base... I'm not too sure how long real plants would live when he gets a bit bigger... he might even shred these too... I have a feeling he probably will hehe
