Hi,
I'm Rob and I want a puffer! I have had cichlids for years and years, and after a move I set my tank up for cichlids again and I really want a change. I'm looking into getting a fahaka. First I need to learn, change my substrate(pea gravel), and get rid of my cichlids. I look forward to learning from everyone here!

and then you can search fahaka and see what others had to say.. It is is big fish (dog) that requires a lot of special attention

Your pea gravel should be fine. How big is the tank?
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...
