The Puffer Forum

hey i know there very aggressive butt has anyone had more than one in a tank and it worked out .

not in the long run as far I have read here

I don't think that's ever worked. Fahakas are extremely aggressive, especially to their own kind.

Someone managed to breed Fahakas in captivity, he posted on here a few years ago, if I recall his username was dmuratov. Big tanks though in the region of 400 gallons so more than one specimen in a tank is possible but its definitely not advisable.

Read this: viewtopic.php?f=40&t=151

suspect that two fahakas will result in one dead and one injured

More than likely, 2 dead, as in the story I linked to.

That's a sad story indeed!

Not sure about two fahakas, but my fahaka ElDiablo and my gsp PudderLubber have gotten along great for about 1&1/2 years now.

How? Fahakas are FW and GSPs are high brackish to marine...

And I thought you just got your puffers like 3 months ago?

I'm starting to think this fellow, eclipse, is a troll. Here is a comment he made about keeping a fahaka with a pleco:

I hate to say it, but you will wake up one morning to find the only thing left of your pleco will be in your fahakas stool

Yet he kept one with a GSP for a year & a half?
Here is his 1st post, on Feb 5th:

Hi all. I got my first puffers almost 2 months ago and just found this sight. I got a gsp, code name Turbo, and a fahaka, code name El Diablo.

Maybe he meant months, not years? Trolls are usually more consistent if they're good at it.

I'll upload some pics for you then. Don't understand the troll comment when I'm just relaying my personal experience.

Also, gsp's do wonderful in fw.

Really? You kept one for 10+ years in FW & it's still healthy?
