You guys know puffer 24/7, right?
Not to chime in on this convo but what the hell I got a couple things to say...
First, AW2 definitely knows his stuff. So do a lot of people on this board. He gives his opinion and IMO often his advice is on the conservative side. If you don't agree, don't follow it. There are some things in this hobby that are somewhat of a judgment call. Why turn a thread into a ridiculous name calling argument just because you don't agree?
Second, I think a niger would be fine in a 125 for a long time and I've had several of them. If you are one of the fortunate few to have this fish long enough to grow to 14 or 15 inches, then it is not that difficult to find a home for it. Obviously some here disagree but that's cool with me.
Third, there are way too many people here who do not have much experience but give advice based on what they've read from others. And the trend seems to be to continue to get more conservative because, realistically, no one can say you're wrong if you're being too cautious. Such advice, though is not based on knowledge. A lot more people should listen more and speak less.
Just my $.02.
