Fahaka tank mates?

[David1999]

Hey everyone, my LFS recently got in some baby fahaka puffers about 1 inch each. I was wondering if they would be ok with my current stock list in my 180g after the fahaka gets to be about 7-8"
8 bichirs range 6"-16"
4 Blood parrot fish range 6-8"
1 fire eel 12"
1 sun catfish 6"
1 white tip wolf fish 6"

Will any of these fish have problems with aggression or anything? Filtration is one fluval fx6 and one aquaclear 110. I know these puffers r very messy eaters! Thanks for your help in advance!

Read all of the threads on here about Fahakas. It will need that 180 all to itself. They need a 24" wide tank because they will reach 18" or more. It needs the tank all to itself because they will kill and eat any roommates you would try and give it. Once they get big you might get by with a school of something so small that it won't interest it as food. It will eventually sneak up on even the fastest fish. Read all you can because they have special dietary requirements.

David, feel free to add him to your tank as long as you don't care about the health or well being of any of your current fish.

Not sure who on this board said it, but they put it the best."fahakas don't have tankmates , only swimming food reserves"
