Hi guys,

I've been lurking for a week or two and I thought it was time I posted!
I was thinking about getting a porcupine puffer and I've seen a lot of different numbers for what size tanks they need.
I would think for an adult, I would need ~120 gallon tank, but maybe I could get away with a 55g until it grew >6"?
What do you guys think?

If you are absolutely positive you can finance the larger tank, you can start smaller. It's a lot of work though, to set up & a new tank & move the fish & everything, so why not just start with his final home?
