beautiful puffer, i love them so much. theres one thats been at my lfs for a few months now and i like to go and "play" with him. i get to handfeed him too, since the lfs guy likes me :)
i want one so bad but i dont have the tank nor room for one.

Sure you do Fuzz...put your 55G together, that will open up a 55G. And you could do a FOWLR *SUPERSMIL

even 55 gallons isnt enough long term IMO...thats what i had started with but i had to upgrade to the 125 gallon;) puffers are very messy eaters wich obviously makes the water conditions worst not to mention you cant have crabs snails ect wich ='s messy tank*thumbsdow

We I wasnt saying for long term. But once hes in the house.....LOL :D Yeah I know 'bout the invert thing. What I am going to do is buy them in bulk and they can just live in the tank till they get eaten. Dont they need them anyways as part of their diet?? I know that FW ones do.

no they dont need them as part of there diet and i think thats a terrible idea... not to mention expensive just about the only thing you can do is try to get a few crabs and snails that are a little bigger than normal so maybe the puffer cant fit them in his mouth ... if that doesnt wurk than youll just have to get some type of goby to clean yur sand bed and magnafloat the sides ;)
