Right now i have a 20 gallon that i'm using to grow out my senegal, but pretty soon i'm gonna move it to a 50 so i'll have an empty 20 gallon. I'd really like to get a puffer fish, but i don't know much about them, and can't find too much about them on the internet, besides the dwarf, and that the green spotted is a brackish fish. I really like the green spotted puffer, but I've never had anything besides a freshwater tank, so i'd like to stick to that. Any ideas for a decent sized puffer that would be fine in a 20?
 
GSPs will eventually need a 30g minimum for a singleton--55g even better. Look here for puffer profiles & recommended tank sizes: PUFFERPEDIA
 
You have many options. Did you look over that link I gave you?
 
yea, i really liked some of them, but the only problem is i dont think my pet store sells any other puffers besides the spotted green puffer, although i know i can get some dwarf puffers from one, becuase i asked them, any idea where i could find a south american puffer? or should i go for 4 dwarf?
