Should be fine for 1 F8.

It's about 16 UK gallons, it will make a nice home for one.

A single F8 would love that tank!

Does sound pricey in US terms, but I don't know how much they normally go for in the UK.
As for size, I would rather buy a baby F8 than one that's full-grown and you have no idea how old it is. With F8 puffers, at least around here, size doesn't affect the price.

I'm getting F8s in and selling them at $3.99 (USD) at work.

I think that tanks a bit small personally. It's 14 US gals. You culd make it work for 1 maybe, but it won't hold close to 14 gals.

One foot by one foot by two feet is the standard US 15 gallon tank, and IMHO is fine for a single F-8. It does not of course hold 15 gallons, but I have yet to own any tank which holds its nominal volume. A 20-long (1x1x2 1/2') would be luxurious, but does not hold anything close to 20 US gallons either.
