Hi all,

I have a 3 inch Fahaka being delivered over the weekend along with a new 125 Gallon aquarium, so the Fahaka will start life in a 75 Gallon for 3-4 weeks whilst the new tank cycles and settles.

I'm looking to get some advice on feeding from this size up to fully grown, I have bought ocean nutrition clams on a half shell and white shrimp. Is this right for a Fahaka of this size? should i be feeding soft food until he gets to a certain size and then add in the clams/snails/crayfish etc......

So the puffer came a day early and is settling in well.

However he has some strange markings on his back, are these normal for Fahaka or is it disease/damage?

I dosed Prazi just in case
