Yes, if you want to setup a brackist water tank but eventually you will do full salt on those brackist puffers.
There are PLENTY of freshwater puffers that could liveout their lives in a 55G, problem is most of them tend to be smaller and grow to max 2-3" in length, and do not mix well together or with other fish...
Most mid size freshwater puffers that would fit in your tank and that can somewhat co-habit together tend to be like owning a pet rock and rarely move...
So if a puffer is really the direction you decide on, let me know and i'll list some that can fit in your tank fir life...
Not true at all, its just that the 2 most commonly sold puffers that tend to be labeled as Freshwater species is GSP and F8's which require High end and low end brackish water respectively...
I don't want a puffer that won't move around any and I don't think I want to go with a dwarf
I want a predator that's relatively active and fun to watch. Are there any puffers that I could use this as a grow out tank for? And then buy a bigger tank down the line? I'd also only be looking for freshwater puffers. I've never had a salt water aquarium before
How about some guppies?I don't want a puffer that won't move around any and I don't think I want to go with a dwarf
All jokes aside, red wolf is pretty cool
True true, but I still just want to measure my options. Bc I'm really not sure what my options besides a red wolf are
I know you want "monsters" but a community tank could be cool.. Cory catfish, lightly planted, angel fish, tetras?
I saw some people also house electric catfish in a 55 for while, then would need to be upgraded

The only large puffers that are active are the Fahaka (needs 180G+ Min) & MBU (needs imo 600G+ min)
So neither puffer is suitable for a grow out, unless you already have said final home in place and ready to go...
