    So I raised mine in a 4x2x2 the depth I think is really important! As that will in my opinion mean way more to it's overall happiness then the length. Bigger is always better and mine is in a 6x2.5x2 but honestly is no more active so I dont believe it was life changing for my Fahaka. But each can be different you may have to see what yours is like! Obviously the more water the easier it can be to sustain healthy water.

    But in all honesty regular maintenance good feeding loads of appropriate decor and I would ALWAYS recommend a sump (not that's their isn't other ways as there is many ways to filter well) I just love sumps as I use a whole entire chamber as a "refugium" for emergent plants to help reduce my bioload! So the 4x 2 X2 I think is appropriate if you take on the right management

    Photos below is my Fahaka and the "refugium" as example to what it is like.  (Pardon the bad photo can always do a clearer one 😂) It made a huge reduction in my algae and nitrate.

    Thanks for all that info! It will be my first ever sump and my plan was to try a refugium so it’s good to hear it works well for you. Your fish looks amazing! 👍

  2. Hi everyone. 
    I’ve been reading tons of articles online about Fahaka puffers and as always I’m seeing lots of conflicting info on recommended tank size. 
    I’m in the UK so don’t have the same standard size tanks as you have in the US but I’m looking at having a custom tank built for him. 
    I have space for a 4x2x2 and I’m thinking I’ll have a sump. 
    Can anyone who has experience of keeping these fish tell me if that will be a large enough tank long term?

    Thanks
