Arrowhead/Pignose/Mekong Puffer?
Is the Arrowhead/Pignose/Mekong puffer truly freshwater? Or is it like how Walmart says GSPs and F8s are FW? And how big of a tank do they need?
And how big of a tank do they need?-

The only thing I don't see in the library is how big of a tank I should keep him in?

It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

They like a cave to hang out in too.

Re: Arrowhead/Pignose/Mekong Puffer?
I have my Arrowhead in a 30 gallon with 3 hiding spots/caves. He favors one and hardly uses the others and rarely buries. If you have caves that provide complete hiding spots, ie: caves with hanging moss entrances, be sure you know where he is when you are cleaning as they really are ambush predators and will get your finger (or in my case knuckle that needed stitches).
