Why wouldnt a puffer puff?

Pounding pellets? What pellets are you feeding them? Most puffers won't look at pellets. Longer term you will need to get them on hardshelled food.

Massivore

wow, never seen fahaka's this small for sale. Are they less than an inch long?

Two are 1.5 and one was 2ish

Pellets are fine for a puffers diet, as long as its not exclusively fed on just pellets alone and gets a varied diet...

As for the 3 fahaka's in one tank, i guess it is just a matter of time before aggression levels build and one potentially kills the other 2, although judging by your 2nd post, it seems you plan on returning 2 of the 3, and eventually keeping just one in a 120G tank?

If thats the case, maybe an idea to get rid of the two extras now and just focus on one that you like most?

Yes I plan on Growing 3 out to 4-5" and keeping 1

Wish my fahaka would eat something besides bloodworms lol. Mine was about that size when i got him and is now about 2-3". That was a month ago. Mine was housed with cherry shrimp and ghost shrimp and he didnt bother any of them for a solid 3 weeks. Then my cherry shrimp started dissappearing. Should be a fun little guy(s). Good luck!
