Am I seeing you tank right?.....It dont look no bigger than a 55gal
If thats the case....they do need a bigger home....
Someone throw him some green and give these fish a good bigger home!
That was my whole reason to get rid of the fish. I loved the 2, but i knew they needed a better home. They are at fish gallery in renton right now, and i have the Fahaka. Does my Fahaka need sand on the bottom of the tank? What can i put in there with him that he wont kill?
Newb here! Help me please

Dude, you need to straight up get rid of the aro and clown knife, they get wayyyyy to big for your 55. Forget the Fahaka Idea for that matter, those guys get to be 18 inches full grown, and a 55 won't be able to accomodate him. A fahaka would need atleast 125 all to himself, and those guys are real killers, which is why I'm getting some

True, your tank is way too small for any of those fish. Either buy another tank, or leave the fish at the store for someone who has the proper space to house them.
And that Mbu puffer in the pic is nice...man I've been looking for one of those forever, hard to come by around here.
Definitley sand for the Fahaka/Nile puffer. They bury themselves. Don't keep anything with them. They will Hate you but will be forced to respect you as it is you who feeds them!
Cyclops: How can you not get hold of Mbu puffers? I have just done a congo order which had lots available. They are seasonal, usually in the shops in summertime. Temperament wise, Mbu's are very peaceable. I keep mine with all sorts of fish no probs!
Oh, the only fish I ever kept with my Nile puffer were neons and danios. Judas was 17" long so they weren't worth bothering with to him!

for shizzle! Mbu's are well worth keeping with other fish as they interact with each fish differently. I keep a male Aulonocara with my mbu. the cichlid kind of sees the puffer as a moving rock. feeding time means the aulonocara sniffs round the cockle shell and the puffer waits for it to move before munching down!
Those are some beautiful fish to get rid of for a puffer? Puffers are nice but that's a nice couple of fish.
