Well here it is, my 3.5" Fahaka Puffer. ATM it's in a 55 by himself. He's pretty mean, my kids went up to the aquarium to look at him and he flew over to them and started attacking the glass, funniest thing I've seen in a long time

Anyway, they get BIG so I will upgrade the tank again in 7-8 months but for now he's got plenty of room. Here ya go:

BTW.. forgive the water spots on the glass, it's extremely hard to get a good pic of this guy.

wow, he is alone in a 55 and you are going to have to upgrade? I know nothing about puffers, what are their requirements and how big do they get?

Full grown is around 18", it will need at least a 125 by himself.
