I want a puffer...

Post by Shawn91 »

Problem is I don't know what kind I should get? my aquarium holds 95L of water. I would like to own a pufferfish that would thrive in an aquarium that size. Any suggestions?

At that size, you're somewhat limited. You could get 5 DPs for freshwater, or 2 Figure 8s if you don't mind going light brackish. Depends on what you have available.

You don't have to keep SAPs in groups, no.

Your tank is roughly about 21UK/25US Gallons of water. Just have a browse of the Pufferpedia and see what you like and whether your tank is suitable.

Your tank is plenty of space for 1 SAP.
