He is so beautiful, mine goes crazy for shrimp and earthworms he is pushing 8-9 inches. He had a bad experience with a fiddler crab, it was a bit big and got a hold of my puffer.. it left a small scar on him. I havent fed him any crabs ever since.
Can you out other fish in with him? I just got 2 flowerhorns and 2 green terrors.. but they are very small…and the puffer i wanna get also is small.. its a 120 gallons tank… seeing ur thoughts on it
People keep cichlids with them... Or fast barbs.. I had mixed resu!ts with tilapias. Tilapia were aggressive enough to need to be removed after six months.. Because they grew a little faster than the Fahakas. One of them would try to bite the puffers' eye, sometimes. When they were all smaller, the puffers killed two tilapia from below. Belly bite.. Ouch!!

Cool stuff! I'm not actually into fish but seems like an interesting hobby.
I've only ever had very small freshwater puffers. But one thing I know is, they will tolerate "being fed". But they want to hunt.😮

My fahaka is about the same size as this video. I've tried tankmates a couple times. He kills then every time. He's by himself in a 220.

How long did it take him to get that big?
Couple years. Got to around 10" fast then slowed down alot.
Have you ever tried frozen crayfish I hate that when my food bites back my puffers name Is fhaker
No I haven't. Tried to find some locally before but can never find them uncooked and without seasoning on them.
Hes pretty big
That he is. Lol
