humpback puffer or Fahaka

Both are FW puffers. Humpbacks really aren't very active fish, I think you'd be a lot happier with a fahaka.
would these need to be kept by there self? or could a person keep 2 or what else could be kept with them?
Not always the case, I house my fahaka's with 15 tetra's and 2 plecos. I would say its a case by case basis, but tankmates is rare
It is best to keep the Fahaka by itself, unless you want to risk other fish. They don't get eaten but they will get kill by Fahaka, and yes get a Fahaka perfect size for 125G and very active fish.
okay looks like i will be getting one of these. As for the tank so I make it sand bottom? or would gravle work?
I started with gravel but ended up changing to pool filter sand. Wish i did sooner. The fahaka seems to like the sand more it even buries itself in the sand.
