wow now i want one for my cichlid tank, so do you think that if you socialize them with other fish when small they would be ok? or should i just keep it with badder fish than it? thnx
they should be kept in freshwater throughout their lives. tankmates are always at risk; stories abound of fahakas that tolerated tankmates for a year or more, then one day flipped out and slaughtered them.
I have one in an 80 gallon, I might pick up a 200 with a stand for 450 if I can get the money. I'm having a lot of problems with school right now so IDK. He is about 4 inches including tail. Pictures of him were in a 10 because my LFS got him in before I got the 80 cycled. His personality rocks!! He wont eat Krill though.
You definitely need to treat that puffer for IPs, ASAP!
