Hiary puffer breeding tank size

[Charney]

I have come across a couple reports of breeding the hairy puffer but can't find what size tank they had them in. Does anyone know what sized tank was used? Please I am not looking for the bigger the better. thank you

Good luck! I have never heard of them breeding in captivity (unless you get a pre bonded pair wild caught) and given there savage demeanour it's going to be tough. But as a total guess from a guy that's owned 2 over the years (and loves the species dearly) try a 6 foot tank with 2 distinct seperate areas of rocks and wood at each end with a clear area of sand on the middle. I very nearly did this a year ago but was warned off it. But genuinely good luck.

There's an article in Amazonas magazine this month on breeding the hairy puffer.

They have been breed with pairs that are introduced after importation.
