Looks way more like a Cross River / Pustulatus than a Fahaka to me!
What did you pay for it?
Best,

No one said it was a fahaka, just not a true pustulatus, maybe a cross/mixed species. Won't know for a few years, if the stripes/spots get longer (more like a fahaka).
Saw one of these guys in my LFS in PLYMOUTH UK he is in with several large colombian tetras and some catfish. Yours certainly looks like a CRP and it looks like you got a bargin as i was quoted double what you paided for the one I saw over here. Also they are as rare as hens teeth to buy (certainly over here)
He's a beauty...and a steal for $360
will do well on clams and shrimp...mussel will work as well but I try to feed mussels less then clams or shrimp because your puffer can/will bite through and swallow pieces of the shell...to many shell shards at a time can be tough for him to pass.
keeping him with other fish will depend on his personality...he might (probably) kill one or two fish initially (mine did) but should end up ignoring them eventually...I keep my puffer with congo tetras, he completely ignore them now.
