Okay I'll give you a 1k to eat your puffer without going to the ER. If they are just fish we eat them why on gods earth are you asking opinions them it's just a fish right.
@frankcastle honestly you're right I'm out too lol

It's always good to see a fahaka doing well in long term care. These guys are certainly up there on my bucket list, and hearing that you can avoid the manual clippings pretty confidently gives me more enthusiasm going forward. As long as you understand the risks associated with the fahaka I don't see what the fuss is about. I would be interested in seeing her (are they sexually dimorphic?) smash a clam if you have the means to put up a vid. As for treatment I think this is one of those hope for the best scenarios, unless you see any fungal or bacterial fun near the wounds.
Ihsnshaik... It's a matter of context.. The fahaka, no I love her to much.. The GT I would eat him... Alive... For free... just for you lol.
woefulrelic, fahaka are the most interactive fish I have ever encountered. Puffers are always more intelligent than most fish (much like oscars) and you get hooked! Like me with a history of multiple species. Every time I set up a tank I think puffers.. Or maybe snakeheads lol. But fahaka if you have the tank size are really not hard to care for and the rewards of owning one are spectacular. Every day she recognises me and begs for food, bouncing up and down the glass.. She is adorable. Fahakas are hard to determine but the guy at the shop it's a lass.. But at 0.5 of an inch I have no idea how he knew... But I went with it. I will see what I can do about posting a video.. But if you have a free tank I cannot recommend one highly enough.

And yet 'punisher'and the other fella.. You are still posting?
Gents, I bear no ill will, we all are in this hobby for different things I just like predators and have different perspective.

Alright like you said I want to see you eat your green terror alive.. Record it and YouTube it for me 
Better than me, I assign sex to my monomorphic species as I see fit. I'm jealous of the snakeheads you get to keep, you certainly seem to appreciate fish with personality. I put a lot of consideration into picking up a fahaka but my current second largest tank is a 75, and Lord knows a fahaka won't go anywhere near my rays. Fortunately rays are a strong personality fish so I don't feel like I'm missing out. Hopefully I could build a 240 or similar around a fahaka with some community members, but I realize that would be a luxury and I wouldn't chance a prized possession. Keep your head up and hopefully you can give us a vid that makes us cringe at the thought of tank maintenance.
