Looking for a puffer

[Hendre]

The Wet Spot had them on their list for $200. I know a few people that have them in tanks with other fish. They've completely ignored the other fish, including guppies. I've read they get anywhere from 4-5".

Sounds correct, but holy price tag

you could do a fahaka. 75gal might be pushing it for life though. But they would be great for a single fish tank and are very interactive. ....and freshwater.

Normally at absolute MIN people recommend a 125G for a fahaka, and even that i honestly find is a but tight, a 180G and up would be much better...

As for the other Puffer Wes has, i think its a close cousin or something of the South American Puffer, but requires brackish water???

Someone correct me if im wrong, but could have sworn i heard they need brackish...

thanks for the correction. I knew someone who kept one in a 75, but I don't know how big the fish was. For as big as they get, 150-180g sounds more realistic. thanks.

Normally congo puffer refers to T.Miurus puffer, which is a piscivore = definitely not fish friendly lol

Its also another lurker that likes hiding in the sand...

I had a good opportunity at a Congo puffer for 75$ but super mean and they like to burrow and I had gravel

What other puffer does he have? Not that I want to correct you, but I'm curious to look into it.

Hes an official vendor on here, so best to keep tabs on his threads as he updates them since stock changes depending what he can find...
