that it is too small, but IMO as long as water quality is kept high, food abundant and varied, and the selection of compatible tankmates, successful keeping has a higher chance, whether in a 100/125 gallon tank or a 500. The cost of setting up a 100+ gallon tank is...not cheap. If all of us could, our fish would have 1000+ gallon setups or we'd simply live next to them in our underwater ocean houses.

I agree w/ you...mine is in a 90 gallon tank w/ tons of live rock in a mature tank. You just have to make water changes a constant thing w/ these guys. When they pee/poop its really huge! lol all my other fish run away....protein skimming is essential w/ this type of messy eater

Cool puffer. I have one thats 3 inches long and is the friendlyist (sp?) fish in the tank. He swims around my hand when I clean the tank.
Good Luck with him
