75gal

[Been_away2long]

hey everyone

I'm going to have a spare 75gal tank and I keep going back and forth with ideas originally I was going to pick up a flower horn and do that, but for some reason I keep going back to wanting a fahaka puffer. I know the tank is too small for full grown but could I start the fahaka if small enough in a 75gal? as it grows I will provide a 145-180gal for it? Just want to hear people's opinions. Better off keeping a flowerhorn or get a fahaka

It all depends how long it will take you to get the 180G setup, coz honestly a possible 15-17"+ fish is going to need space rather quickly...

So with say a 48" x 18"? Footprint, i'd say around 6 months to a year before you need an upgrade if you get a baby...

Coz as they grow length wise, their girth also expands exponentially lol...

Not to mention moving a large puffer without exposing it to air is not the easiest thing in the world...
