Yep, yep and yep. Unfortunately, we can't "have our cake and eat it too" in these situations.. Setting up a 75 gallon brackish tank would be a huge favor to those puffers. However, you'll of course need to acclimate them to the proper parameters.
I was told at my lfs that African cichlids are brackish water. i looked further into this after you said that and indeed your right they are not. as far as the tank there going into a 40g tank in the next few weeks, just need to get a filter. there still small about 1 to 1.5 in. i was strictly catfish but when i seen these guys had to have them. also plan on starting a saltwater in the 25g there leaving so i can get a little experience with salt water before they get bigger. thanks for the info, always appreciated.
