dude, the only ppl that r dumb enough to put a non-toby puffer r lfs's and newbies (not saying newbies r dumb just naive) it will nevr be successful, the puffer will get stressed and die if its any larger than 3" in a week, maybe a week and a half? puffers need large tanks, 100 or more imo.

OK SHARKBOY13 I APPRECIATE YOU COMMENTING ON MY THREAD, BUT i wanted to hear stories of people who did it. I know its not recomended, all i wanted to know was people with this experience. isnt there a mod who has one in a 58 by the way?... ANYWAYS, not to be rude but you've said more then enough and I'm planning on getting a toby, i just was interested in hearing a failed/success story. thanks-

I imagine plenty people have tried it, but won't own up to it, because it's not the proper husbandry for a fish that grows so large.
