4ft-37gal For Puffer(s)

[kniesh]

Hi, this tank was my very first tank and it has had everything in it, including a marine set up untill quite recently. It is now cycling and I just can't decide what to put in it. I seen a 2 inch Puffer in my lfs the other day an was seriously considering getting one. However I think a Puffer is eventually going to prefer brakish water, am I correct? Plus I was reading they need their teeth trimmed etc.. (hope I dont look silly saying that). Anyway I have a tall 25gal upstairs which I think would be suitable for a single puffer, is that big enough?

I really am struggling for ideas on what to put in this, I have had about 5 different community set ups in it and a small Cichlid community, i.e rams, Kribs an stuff. Anyone got any ideas at all?

Sorry for creating another stocking thread btw!!!

Ok decided on at least one fish for this tank- a Red Tailed Black Shark. I have decided to keep a puffer in a seperate tank after a bit of research and I'm probably gonna do it as brakish.

Now what I need are some suggestions for semi aggressive fish to keep with the RTBS. I want aggressive fish that obviously wont be too aggressive for the shark (which is small right now) but wont be too timid to be in there with similar fish. I have so far came up with Green Severums but I'm not totally sure.

The tank dimensions are 48"12"15" and I can decorate it as required. Thx in advance.
