Hey yall, I've got an empty 75 that I want to do something with. I am a former puffer keeper, but haven't had one in a few years. I've recently been intrigued by the idea of keeping a South American Puffer tank. I was wondering if any of you all have any experience keeping a "school" of these. I read the little write-up on them from the puffer dedicated site earlier. It sounded like it might be ok to keep up to 5 or 6 in a 40-50 gallon tank. I was wondering if I could 8 or so in a 75 standard footprint. I'm planning on keeping a 20 breeder for snails and such. I have some really cool drift wood and want plant it fairly heavily. Looking for some advice or input from the community of experts here! Thanks in advance. (Or if any you all have a tank similar to this, I'd love to see it!)

Great idea! Doesn't it list tank size requirements at that site? 15g for the 1st & 10 for every one after. Also, plan on how you're gonna catch each one for dentistry 2-4x/year. A fish trap should work with them.
