fahaka puffer

Good morning all, I'll currently in the process of setting up a drilled 270 (84x24x31) and as much as I'd love to do a sump the weight constraints of the tank location won't allow me to put another 1200 pounds of weight on floor. Long story short this will be the forever home for my Fahaka...

My fahaka puffer is probably about 6 7 in size I've never seen them with ich before but yesterday after coming home from work I noticed he has little white specks all over him All the other fish in the tank seemed to be ich free. He is eating great still I raised the temp up to 80° and added...

Hi, I am planning on getting a 180 Gallon (96x18x24) in about a month, and I will be moving my fish out of my 135 (72x18.5x23.5) into the new tank. I will have an empty 135 gallon that I would like to try something new with. I have a Red-Eyed Red-Tailed Dwarf Puffer in a 45 Gallon, and I wanted...

Hi, I've currently got a 66 inch x 18 inch x 18 inch tank up and running and looking at restocking. Have been interested in puffers for years but have never made the plunge. I'm aware it is on the smaller side but wondering if I could get away with housing a fahaka in this sized tank? Tank is...

Hey everyone! So this new year I decided to convert my 125G to be the dedicated home of my new Fahaka puffer, Bloat. There's one roommate for now which is an L096 Pleco (I say for now not because I'm going to add more, mainly I'll remove her if there's trouble). I got the Puffer on Jan 1 (yes...

WILL POST PICS LATER

Hey MFK, I just have a few questions on my Fahaka. Is it possible to grow him out to 4 inch in a 10 before he goes in my 75? Also, he loves to get stuffed off of blood worms but he hasn't picked at any of the ramshorn snails I added with him.

Hi, so my baby fahaka puffer (1-2 in) has stopped eating a few days ago and i just chocked it up to ich, which has been clearing up with salt. He is very active and interested but just spits out the food. I suspected it may also be ips and after treating with Api general cure, the next...

Hi, I recently got a fahaka puffer for my 120 gallon. He’s about 1.5 inches long and has been eating krill, but doesn’t eat until his belly is round like some puffers i’ve seen. Just wondering if this is skinny and if he has internal parasites? Also how often should I be feeding snails to file...

Looking to sell/rehome my fahaka puffer. Had him since he was the size of a quarter. Unfortunately because of my life situation changing because of covid, I can no longer keep his tank running. I’m Connecticut/the northeast US. I would prefer to find someone to meet up as I have little to no...

I bought a pair of Fahaka Puffers and have both in a 125. How soon do I need to move out one of them? At what age or size do I need to worry about aggression? Thank you.

Hi all! I recently got this cutie yesterday (Fahaka 2"). Drip acclimated him into a 75 with a 210 on standby. The 75 has an fx6 and the 210 has a wet-dry sump and fx6 working in concert. Food wise my 75 has tiny snails everywhere that he immediately started eating. I also have 50 ghost...

Hey guys im looking at getting 2 baby Fahaka, they are about 1 inch each What would be possible tank mates once they get bigger? What are the growth rate on these and best diet for growth?

Looking for a Fahaka Puffer any size would be great just a fish I’ve been waiting for awhile but can’t seem to find one. Located in Columbus Ohio any leads would be great thanks.!

Hello Everyone This Is the Thread I would Like to Dedicate for Fahaka owners. Please State What Size Tank you have and Equipment and Diet. Let's enjoy this and show some awesome pictures.

TLDR; Baby Fahaka sucked in air. After trial and error and a few days in critical condition I popped him. Now he's a perfectly healthy little terror. Alright, so before I begin to tell the story of how I ended up with a baby Fahaka I do want to say that some of you may not agree with the...

Hi folks, Long time lurker, mainly. I've kept various monster fish and always found my answers here even if not posted. Anyway, after a long wait I finally found a Fahaka nearby enough to make it mine. Got him/her into the tank last night and all seems well. Quite active, spends most of his...
