IMO, a 20long will suffice.

True, there not very agile like fahakas etc. they kinda just hover around. Have these ever been tank bred? I have been talking to a good friend of mine and we are going to try and breed fahakas eventually in a giant 400 gallon setup with dividers etc.

I've read that article before... I'm well aware of the tricky-ness behind breeding these puffers.. but the plan he has come up with is an awesome idea.

I'd love to hear it, since scientists aren't sure how they survive breeding even in the wild, without killing each other.

well obviously somehow it's got to happen, because these fish are still around. But i will go post on the other topic you provided that way the discussion about it doesn't have to conflict with the Congo pages haha :] Or I'll create a new topic because i think that topic was locked?
