Thats Ginzy pronouced Jean-Zy. Well I'm planning to take pics of this little bugger throughout the stages of his growth. At the moment he is 1.25 ''. He's eating mostly freeze dried plankton and blood worms some krill... I have some snails and a baby red lobster in there for him to pick on, the lobster was intentionally picked without claws to avoid damage done to the puffer. He is currently in a 20 galon tank, however within the next month he will be placed into his permanant home in a 120 galon 4'by2'by2'. :thumbsup:

i m working on that i feed him twice a day at the moment , the place i bought him from was feeding a batch of ten all feeders....i picked the smallest one because i believe that it has eaten the least amount of feeders so it will be easier to convert.:thumbsup: But thats just my theory...He'll be fat in no time though:naughty:

I am not sure what the biggest home grown fahaka is, but I do hear different opinions on the max size? I hope we can get some people in here that have seen some big ones and get this cleared up, Fahakas are great puffers and it's always nice to learn a little more about them!
