I have done a lot of reading about this fish (arrow head puffer) and I am wondering if you guys think I would like it? I know you dont know me so I will be brief. I would like a fish that is somewhat odd/cool looking, one that is rather large for my 30gal, and it does have to race around the tank like a danio but I would like it to move sometimes and not just sit there. so do you think I would like a arrow head?

Probably not, they're not the most active puffers.

I know they are not the most active but do they move at all besides at feeding time?

I have a Congo puffer (similar ambush predator species) & she begs for food when she's hungry. Otherwise, she stays burried in the sand. I still love her & if I had the room for another tank, I'd get an arrowhead too.
If you can find it, I have an A modestus--very unusual-looking FW puffer, that swims a lot & allows my large royal pleco to live w/him.

My arrowhead wll cruise the tank well after lights out. Normally it's usually in the substrate or tucked away in the plants. Not the most active fish and probably not what you're looking for in a puffer if you want activity.

Nice. Even though they're not hyperactive, you'll still find it a really enjoyable fish to keep.

You should have gotten a Miurus. They're way sexier than a suvatti.

mine does perk up when I brush my teeth in front of him, and when I need to feed him, but he does sit and stare at me a lot.
