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.

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

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
