Sharpnose Puffer Question

[treble]

I am looking into possibly a couple of Sharp Nose Puffers in a 30 Gallon? If possible, how many? Also any info on Sharpnoeses would be helpful, thanks

for a thirty gallon...one..i personally think a thirty is small because they can get big. but it should be enough for just one.

I agree... Thanks for help, and the people at the fish store say the same thing.

Yes they are right 2 sharpnoses will not get along in any size tank. I once tried two in my 135 and they went at each other from the first minute.

How big do they really get I have one and it is about a 1/2 inch now and the biggest I have ever saw them is about 3 in, everything I have read says 3 in, is this about right?
thanks guppie

They will get anywhere from 3-5 inches in maximum size, some may get olny to 3, its all in ther genetic structure witch will decide how big they get, but nothing over 5 inches.
