which is the most agressive puffer

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have a Fahaka and a arowhead puffer (different tanks) the Fahaka and the arrowhead ar very aggresive the big idfference is the arrowhead does not move around much except at feeding time. My fahaka is always swiming around. So i think it depends on how much action you want

your joking right? Guys when my fahaka puffer was 2'' it tore every single fin out of my 12'' florida gar
 
i have an arrowhead mean as hell...got it from my friend who out it in a tank with a spotted gar, the puffer tore the fins out of the gar and thats why it ended up with me..I put it in a tank with a 6in channa micro, darn puffer took a chunk out of the pectoral fin of my channa...
 
GSP are easy to get ahold of and are really mean sadistic little SOB's, the lps once made the mistake of putting a dozen of them in with a betta in a 15g and 5min later there was a finless chunk of betta floating around the tank. the only downside i can think of is that they have to start out in light brackish/almost freshwater and then have to go up to near full strength saltwater or full strength salt as they grow
 
Out of those two puffers the red eye tends to be more aggressive...but if you want something super aggro and are willing to dedicate a tank to a single puffer get a fahaka!!!
 
heard of the giant toadfish Lagocephalus sceleratus it is known to bite fishermans fingers off when they catch em and try to releas them. also they sometimes have been known to bite peoples toes off when they are stanind up in the water. i saw one myself beached up on the beach. it was 40cm long.
 
apparently there are 16 different post and 16 different answers, funny how the answers on these forums are always different, i feel sorry for the newbs who have basic questions and get like 10 different answers...
 
I would say one of those big sized puffer (mbu,fahaka).
A fahaka nearly bit my friend's finger off when he was vacuuming gravel.

Then again, all pufferfish have aggressive temperament.
 
Mbus are rarely known to be aggressive--more like gentle giants. But you never can tell with a puffer!
