I was thinking of keeping a Fahaka Puffer in a 60g long aquarium...Is this way too small? A friend seems to think it will be fine but seems kinda small to me???

You'll need 125g, preferably with a depth of 24"

Yea I am currently saving up for an adequate tank for a fahaka. I look to be buying sometime early next year.

125g is the absolute minimum required. The bigger you can get, the better.

Agreed, way to small IMHO
