I could not keep two sexually mature fahakas in a 180, and doubt seriously that a tank several times that size would have helped. Folks absolutely have to understand that juvenile puffers tolerate conspecifics. Adult aggressive hunter-predators rarely do. There is all the difference in the world between juvenile and adult fish.

Humans really aren't that much different. I do not know why people have a hard time understanding that fish might be the same way.RTR wrote:I could not keep two sexually mature fahakas in a 180, and doubt seriously that a tank several times that size would have helped.

I'm not sure Roman, you might be able to fit 2 humans in a 180g. I would worry about stunting though.Roman wrote:Humans really aren't that much different.

Here is an interesting article from a guy that describes breeding fahakas.
