i wouldn't, what i heard from benfica540 was that they will kill anything in with them. Check with him he would have more info
Dont even try. Seriously, its cruel to put any fish in with a large freshwater puffer.

Should be fineeeee depending on a few things. Like the size of the fahaka. How fast the other fish are, and their temperament. I had some inquisitive fish that would get to close for comfort to the fahaka and then it would get a serious bite from it. Mine was actually fine with the other fish unless it got into it's space or was going for the same food, but it was only 3-4 inches or so. Fahaka's def. become less tolerant the bigger they get when it comes to tankmates. If you go with danios or tetras that are too fast for the fahaka to catch, then you should be fine.

well the fahaka would be the smallest of the bunch to start.. i cant see him messing with the dorado who is lightning fast and i do not know about the pike cihlid. if he makes a meal out of the sunny or crappy i dont care.. then there is the chain pickeral who layes on the bottom all the time.. and at start the fahaka will be the smallest of the bunch.. i also forgot to tell u im adding a wolf fish as well.... ill see what happens and if there is a brawl i try to catch it on video and fill u in...monster monster garage.. oops i mean monster monster aquarium..:D :D

Puffers are some mean little buggers. I say with 90% certainty that whatever you put in the tank with a fahaka will be killed/maimed.
My little T. Turgidus 4" took out a 5 inch pleco in one bite.

i would definitely not do it, unless like said was with small fast fish, but even then mine ate those, and everything else i tried to put with him. I'm pretty sure its gonna kill everything you try with it once its bigger or get killed in the process. and yeah the wolf i think would be a horrible combo haha i don't think either take prisoners haha.

ya i agree. since i started this thread i have owned my wolf now for a little while and he is lame as can be.. my dorado is knocking the scales off him.. i think im going to trade him in. if anyone has wolf fish that actually move then props to u but mine is a rock.
