Hi,
we have just got a SAP & have been told 2 in 65ltr tank will be ok, is this right?

Also feeding mussels, do i just buy them from the fish counter at Tesco and drop them in the tank?

Any other help or info would be great! I know about the fast growing beak bit!!

Thanks
Simon

65 Litre is 14 Imperial Gallons roughly empty. deduct gravel/sand/decor/heater etc leaves about 10 Galls usable. So 2 Saps would be overstocked imo.

You need to make sure the food is raw, not cooked. Also really you need to have a crop of snails etc ready for these fish. As much hard crustacians as possible to aid with wearing the beak down.

Check the Pufferpedia for more info on SAP's
