    Ok, so I have an empty 630l tank and I can’t choose between a fahaka, fronts or a few tropheus, what is your opinion

    I think the puffer is very cute and very interesting with a crazy character but... you must have a passion for them that you happy to basically keep one fish alone in the tank

    Depends what you're looking for. The puffer is a great pet, but as said above, isn't very compatible with others. I've seen some setups with both smaller and larger fish that are apparently ignored, but also similar attempts where it landed up with the puffer alone again.

    However, if you're looking for an impressive display, or some fun with breeding, or making some money back, then the cichlids are the way to go.

    Tropheus would be my choice, super active, some nice colour variants
