Fahaka with overgrown teeth and unknown puffer

Post by Terrance »

I just saw this puff with overgrown teeth. Its the first time I've seen something that big.

Judging by the hump on its back, could this a palembangensis? This puff is about 6 inches long and I don't recognize its coloration.

I feel like getting the fahaka with overgrown teeth.

Do you guys think this tank is good enough? http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/hsh/2548358512.html

Although the tank is 180gal, its a long aquarium. I'm not sure if its wide enough for a fahaka to turn around comfortably.
Kind regards,

Since it's 24" wide you're definitely good to go. It's the 18" wide ones you have to watch out for since it will get in the way of the Fahaka's ability to turn. Nice tank!
