Who has the largest Fahaka on MFK

[RobD23]

Ok so there are tones of people on this site that have Fahaka Puffers, but all seem to be about the same size around 8-10 inches. I have a 9.5 inch Fahaka I've posted a fair bit of pictures of him already, I will post more asap but in the mean time please post your large Fahakas. I really would like to know if anyone has a full grown Fahaka at the moment.

I've had several over the years (all gone now) due to freak accidents all around 10-12in. my biggest being 12in. I walking in the room one morning and he was upside down?!?! have NO CLUE WHY

Filbert's about a foot now.

i hear they get way bigger

 

[Pufferpunk]

Yeah, considering he's about 10 years old...

Mine is only a little guy at only about 4". I know a few people that have them around the 10" mark. I haven't ever seen one bigger. I hear they can get up to 18" or so???

 

[wwcichlids]

I have a nice 8-10 inch one if anyone is looking

Wow. How long have you actually owned him for? 10 years and 12", it seems like a 75 is fine for these fish then.

Do you have any pictures of them actually at 18" or close in the aquarium?

There are some at my forum. Those fish are at a public aquarium. I'm afraid my fellow may have become stunted in the 125g. I believe they really need a MUCH bigger environment than I can house one in. Wish I had known that before i got him. At least he's happy but I doubt he'll live to 20 years, which he should...

Yeah I always wanted one, but I just don't have the tank space at the moment.
