Thanks for the help! Is there anything about the Spotted Congo in specific I should know about. I've done extensive research on them but seeing as you have first hand experience with not only them but multiple types of puffers. I've also heard that their teeth grow slower than some other puffers? Just wondering if it were true.

Thanks! I'll definitely try and stick to the congo, but if that does not pan out the Mekong looks like a good option as well. Anything specific things I should know about them?

You mentioned that you currently keep Mekongs, just asking for some general information on them. I've look around online and they don't really seem to be kept all that often. How does their general temperament seem to be, of course I can't base it solely off this as from what everyone else has said they're like dogs so it can go either way. They interest me as a viable option, I'm really looking for a medium sized puffer and this one fits the bill perfectly. Thanks!

Never mind this is a really dumb question after looking into it more. 😹

I currently have a planted 75 gallon tank and at first I was planning on getting a Spotted Congo Puffer, but seeing such a steep price is hard to swallow. How long could I keep a fahaka in my 75 until I have to upgrade into presumably a 125 at minimum? Is there any precautions for compatible tank mates, I already had a SAE, L-Catfish, and 1 angle would those be ok? If not I could move them to a different tank. Would fish like rainbows work? If not what other fish could I keep in this set up. Of course I will further research the fish but I wanted to hear from someone directly about tank size and tank mates. I really want a Puffer of some sort and I'm really drawn to a Spotted Congo but with the aproxx. 200 dollars I spend on it that could go towards another tank for a fahaka. Thanks!
