The Puffer Forum

Hello, I have a 75 gal tank and ready to go and water is cycled. Wanted to know what species I could put in it...? I would prefer a larger puffer if possible, and could be the only fish as well if needed. Any info or ideas would be a great help...?

Thanks

The footprint will not be big enough for the most common monsters to turn around..like fahakas or porcupine.

To be honest a 75 is not a good option for a large puffer

So that brings you down to some medium sized puffers

If you are willing to go brackish-
Ceylons (hard to find, impossible almost)
2 Green spotted puffers (easy to find)
4 or 5 figure 8's (low brackish, is easy, easy to find puffer)

If you want to stay fresh

you can do a school of South American puffers ( constant supply of snails for their teeth, so start breeding snails before getting SAPS

Your tank is too big for a lot of the fresh puffers because most of them are luckers AND cannot have any tank mates including their own kind...so big tank , little action

And it is too small and will stunt the large puffers

And way to small for the x-large puffers..

Welcome to the forum!! how was the tank cycled?

J-P can I steal that for my sig?

It is funny to me..it is like walking up to someone and being really enthusiastic "HI, HOW ARE YOU!"..and then asking a personal question.."Do you dye your hair?"

Also, maybe if it is in my sig newbies will ask, "what does cycle mean?"

LOL!! that happened to me on my first post

I knew on that post what cycling was but just prior to that I didn't. Anyway.. yes it is funny / strange. no offence swizzlestick.

Sometimes we ask lame questions because we were once lame ourselves
