Keeping puffers in full freshwater

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Which species? Fahakas are killers. Amazon puffers and pea puffers are relatively peaceful. Mbus and dragons are iffy and depends on individuals. Goes on and on. All puffers have teeth that can do serious damage. And, most species will require teeth trimming if not fed a proper diet that will keep their teeth wearing naturally.
 
Yea just feed snails, crayfish, shrimp shell on. I used to go to fish stores and buy 5 lbs worth of crayfish and feed him that loved my lil guy, I sold my Fahaka to ocean and seas last year just got my new dovii from them too

His home is a 40B filtered with an AC110. Lurkers like this one are less prone to teeth issues but they are pretty sedentary in nature.

As far as smaller puffers go, the Congo puffer (T.Miurus) is my favorite, but larger ones, definitely Fahaka all the way...
