    Hi @Zander Jacobs and welcome to TASA.

    That is a really beautiful fish without a doubt, however in my opinion more suitable for a pond or a tank at least 2M (cutting it fine). Not just for water column but mainly swimming space.

    Imagine yourself being 1.8m tall in a 2m high room with a width and breadth of 80cm. That's about the feeling of that fish at max size in that size tank. Isn't very lekker really. On the plus side atleast you have an excuse for a monster tank or maybe even a pond to cater for this gorgeous specimen

    Fantastic fish - really awesome

    Agree with @Shabir
    These Puffers really do need a big tank as possible. Even if they are not highly active, they still get quite big.
    And they are messy, and need the large volume to maintain decent water quality.
