    Exclamation New FOWLR Tank

    hey guys ive been lurking on this forum for awhile now lol and i just now signed up.
    but enough of he intros. i have a 110g tank that i have begun to turn into a FOWLR tank. i have my heart set on a porc puffer. any suggestions on tank mates? i really want a black volitan in there too but i hear that the puffer being as curious as they are might get stabbed by the lion. thank you for your time

    In captivity the Porcupine Puffer (Diodon holocanthus) grows to over 12".

    The 110 is too small for this fish and if it wasn't too small for this fish, it would and should be the only fish in the tank.

    If you had a 180 gallon, you might get away with keeping this fish in it as being the only fish in the aquarium. But I would prefer to see this fish in a 240+ to get the extra swimming length.
