Just got my best hookup yet from a fish store clerk. Two days ago, the guy gave me a puffer that another customer had brought in. Said he couldn't sell or guarantee it because it was not from their stock. I took it sight unsean and it looked kinda grayish. About four inches long. Was pretty beat up and had some ich. Put it in a 55 with salt and melafix. Saw the yellow on it's belly today and the lines on its side so it looks like the guy gave me a fahaka. Any info on these fish would be appreciated

i think the min. tank size is 180???

they are also usually housed by themselves due to their xtremely agro nature. be very careful what you put with him!

they love snails and clams! and can be ruthless killers! :headbang2

nice deal!!!
 
He's alone right now and i guess will stay that way. I think i'm going to need a bigger tank.
