Fahaka Puffer
-
Tank Setup:
- Fahaka Puffers require a large tank, at least 125 gallons for adults, with ample swimming space.
- Use a sandy substrate to prevent injury to their sensitive beak.
-
Water Parameters:
- Maintain a temperature between 75-82°F (24-28°C).
- Keep the pH level around 7.0 to 8.5.
- Ensure water hardness between 10-15 dGH.
-
Filtration:
- Use a powerful filtration system to keep water clean, as puffers are messy eaters.
-
Tank Decor:
- Include hiding spots like caves and large structures.
- Use hardy plants, as Fahaka Puffers may uproot softer ones.
-
Diet:
- Provide a varied diet including high-quality pellets, snails, shrimp, and occasional live or frozen foods.
- Monitor their beak growth, as it may need trimming if not worn down naturally.
-
Social Behavior:
- Fahaka Puffers are aggressive and territorial, keep them singly or in large tanks with compatible mates.
- Avoid housing them with small fish, as they may be viewed as prey.
-
Compatibility:
- Choose tank mates carefully, avoiding fin-nippers or smaller fish that can be seen as food.
