I was just wondering if there was somewhere on-line to order a fahaka puffer. Thanks

I beleivetheres one for sale on aquabid.com at the moment. They do show up there quite often. I'm sure your LFS could special order you one if you asked.

Just be aware that they need a very large tank.

thanks.. my LFS can't order one I don't think.. I looked at their suppliers website and they didn't have any. Drfostersmith.com doesn't have any either
Is a 125 gallon tank enough for a fahaka for life?

Depending on size could I use a 75 gallon to grow out until I setup a 125?

125g is the absolute minimum, but bigger is always better. I wouldn't buy one until you have its final tank (125+).
