[ty1977]

[yourleftnut1]

powerful teeth

[thedarkabyss100]

have him eating a large crab then see what happens

[DavidFletcher49]

i find puffers so cute.

[comacazyjp1]

is he fresh water or salt water and does he puff up ?

[MrSalc56]

what size tank?

[xDrRuthless]

why do these fish eat all hardshelled stuff

[megarepsol]

do they only eat live food? how big do they gte? how much is he? where can i get one?

[mustachexboy]

i have a 300 gallon tank with 3 oscars and an arowana with a fluval Fx5 filtration unit, is that good enough?

[mustachexboy]

can they be put in a tank with oscar fishes?

[raider123456789123]

nope puffer will kill oscar!

[pokemonmaster4ever63]

lol dat snail looks just like meh 4 pet snails that live with 4 goldfish XD

[nmeau]

That's one fat puffer - over-fed

[fluro123]

i have a fahaka living in a 200 gal ive kept him for 4yrs now and he feeds on mystery snails, mussels, crayfish, feeders(rarely) and if im too lazy to get him live food i feed him frozen scallops/prawns. i love him to bits and hes been with me for so long he can recognise me when i come by the tank! he starts swimming up and down lol hes the best!

[Sentinel138]

Hey do you know a Fahaka or a MBU Puffer would live well with an Eel. I have a Tire Track Eel and

I want to get a puffer. Respond if you know. It's strictly fresh water if that helps.

[iwantafahaka]

hey, anyone from singapore noes where to get a fahaka or any other puffers?

i'm serious about caring for one.

[Foxhound204]

is this for freshwater o saltwater?

[landulf777]

its freshwater

[lebenonbong]

so can i put one of these guys with an arowana and some oscars?

[happymidgetpaul]

hmoobxi0ng you don't really know what you're talking about, 120 is minimum to keep one of these happy and healthy, stunting a fish by putting it in a small tank with bad water quality is not at all good for the fish, if you don't have the space for one, don't get one.

[mshuangchao]

Very cute, look how it's looking around and that...

[hmoobxi0ng]

its hard to raise one in an aquarium to get 18"+ and sometimes it does happens, but ocassionaly very hard, they need a super duper amount of swimming space like a POND. so a 120 is not needed...they can live in a 30-50 gal for years and years and stick around 10-12" with a much much slower growing rate :P

[hmoobxi0ng]

no they don't need a 120 gal for a freshwater puffer...thats probably one of the largest freshwater puffer (from what i know) and only need 30-40 gal to house a full grown adult of that species puffer by itself...50gal plus if u want more than one but best to keep by itself...its highly aggressive toward the same species

[liltd87]

I wish i didn't sell my 120!! I had oscars. But now i don't know if i want a fahaka or another oscar. what would you do?? I'm leaning toward a fahaka to try something different though.

[hmoobxi0ng]

i would get me another puffer...but a 120. i go ahead find myself an african pike if you can afford it to feed live stuff. those things are real nice in colors :P

but i would take a puffer again if i was to choose between a puffer and an oscar...i use to have an oscar, they are hardy but too much eating :P well maybe same for puffer but its harder to take care of...

[liltd87]

thanks. they shouldn't be too hard to take care of right?

[hmoobxi0ng]

they should be alright, not too too hard...they are a hardy fish...i use tap water for mine, well all of mine fish =P i just let my filter do the chlorine cycling...make sure u get the dechlorinate bag thingy for ur filter to cycle out tap water so no need to add dechlorinate stuff and wait for 24 hrs, other then that, it should be all fine as long as u can afford to feed it, they have a bug appetite =P

[9500ryan]

you could do both if you wanted

[Radioaktiv37]

false

120gal is the MINIMUM you should be looking to house a fahaka, even then you will want to upgrade after 3 or 4 years

[hmoobxi0ng]

not true...120 is for a preferable choice only...but you can house them in 30-40, mine lives in a 55...16½" and it has very dark and nice coloration...lives pretty happy to me, no signs of stress

[Onimsha1]

heeyyy nice fahaka puffer one question can he be in pure freshwater aquarium ????

[hoohainstated]

he should only be in a pure freshwater aquarium, no brackish

[hawaiidoves]

Nice fahaka! Do you have recent videos on this fahaka? It must be pretty big by now?

Mahalo,

Kaneohe

[hawaiidoves]

Our fahaka is about 7 inches long now and pretty thick.

How many gals is your tank?

[hawaiidoves]

Where are you located? How big is your fahaka now?

[ooalmondjoy00]

honolulu and he's shy of a foot long

[hawaiidoves]

this is Kaneohe, nice looking video and beautiful tank!!! I saw this video 5 times before. Where are you located?

[SPACEDMADNESS42]

very nice puffer, five stars

[tharillainmanila]

reminds me of a helicopter gunship attacking a base lol

[jpetrucci05]

beast man. Im looking into a fahaka, Ive had figure 8s, green spotted puffers, red eyed, dwarf...but no big one yet. Nice looking fahaka.

[ooalmondjoy00]

my fahaka and mbu are my 2 prized puffers. I also started with figure 8's, then green spotted, then palembang puffer, and pig nose puffer, and target puffer, red eye, and snowflake puffer. I think that's all of them.

[mailme08401]

wow those fishes have powerful ass jaws

[Nemersis666]

how big do these tahaka puffers grow? email me plz if u know ty

[GsX827]

"The Yummy Stuff" LOL

[CowWorldProduction]

that is by far the coolest looking puffer fish! I have a vid of mine 2~ freshwater figure eight....not hardly as cool but you know....

[BrianAStier]

Figure 8's end up being brackish...

[jpetrucci05]

1.005 please for a happy tetraodon biocellatus. Mine lived 14 years after I got him in those conditions, and he was fully grown when purchased.

[gundam178]

crunch!

[DarkEnt1ty]

nice one :)

[DarkEnt1ty]

you know that tank is no where near large enough for that Puffer. 120 Gall is the bare minimum.

[ooalmondjoy00]

yes, I know. We have been selling our smaller tanks to make money for a 120g. We're going to eventually turn his 55g into a salt water tank. We had him in a 10g, then a 20g, now a 55g. We move him into bigger tanks as he grows

[christianflores2007]

so how big is ur tank?

[ooalmondjoy00]

55 gallons

[smalljj]

its mouth of power is awesome!

[CowWorldProduction]

they have beaks...

[konco1215]

wo... cool
