Hi suddansator.

Check out our selection of Freshwater puffer in the Puffer Encyclopedia. There are lots to choose from - and each has very different requirements.

Welcome Bud :)

What size tank are you thinking of getting, that will help narrow down what you can keep?

Dwarf Puffers are great to start with. Although they aren't big in size they have a big personality and one of the few puffers you can keep in groups as long as there is the correct male to female ratio.

Look in the puffer encyclopedia for tank requirements per fish and other general information about them, if you already haven't done so that is.
