Looks to be one of their freshwater tanks... guessing by size, I would guess a Fahaka

No markings though

Probably not a Fahaka then, they usually are striped at that size.

I cheated and called.

I believe Fugu can start in freshwater but will need full marine as an adult to thrive.

Yes, they are a heavy brackish to marine environment creature. They are found in fresh during spawning season.

Yeah, I asked him on Saturday when I called. He said they need brackish but his one brackish tank isn’t big enough to separate 3 fugu puffers as they are apparently crazy mean/ aggressive.


If I ever ventured into the brackish realm, I’d love to try my hand at these
