Freshwater puffer for 20 gallon?
I was just wondering what freshwater puffer would be okay for a 20 gallon, Preferably one that is very active and gets bigger than 2 inches

Modestus are the COOLEST! Have you seen one locally?
Check out the profiles in our Pufferpedia for other ideas.

I haven't seen any modestus at my LFS, but I've also never look for them haha. They have some pretty cool fish there though, they always have dwarf puffers.

Pufferpunk, does the modestus stay oretty active? And theyre basically just a solid gold color right? No pattern to them?
20 gallon: Attempting live plants. AC 50. Small gravel substrate. Current LED Light + set on plant setting 8 hours daily. Driftwood and rainbow stone.
10 gallon: Aqueon Quiet flow 20. Blue pet store gravel. Crown tail betta (walmart rescue).

No pattern but they are a golden, metallic green with a metallic cream tummy. Pretty active--very aggressive.

Re: Freshwater puffer for 20 gallon?
What about a dwarf puffer? I've been interested in those lately, even though they stay very small I've heard they are really cool to keep and have an attitude. And one would really enjoy a 20 gallon to itself 
and my LFS always has them too
