You need a more varied diet for a puffer:
FEEDING PUFFERS

Thanks. How about water movement. I usually have powerheads running to keep circulation up and the sand clean. How do they feel about that? (While typing this I realized these are river fish - duh) Hiding spots? Any other tid bits? I like to look before I leap

Nice! Will a 125g 72x18 work for life? When ever I can I like to put them in their permenant home.

I managed to bring home a 75 and 90 this weekend but the 120 I was looking at turned out to be a 75. How fast do these boogers grow, i.e. how long can one stay in a 90?

good diet...........1" to 1.5" a month. for the first 12 months.

Try to find a tiny fella. It took about 2 years from my 1" guy to have to be transfered into his 125g (I have a lot of different sized tanks for upgrades). He should last in the 90 for a while. If you have to, do 75% weekly WC on it, to keep the levels down. I do that anyway.
