Arthron Nigropunctatus

[AMS]

I am looking into starting a predatory FOWLR tank with various large marine inhabitants. I dont want corals, I have my hands full with my softs, mushrooms, polyps, etc in my other reef tank.

I am interested in Dog Face Puffers. Is it likely for them to exceed 1 foot in captivity? And what size tank are we looking at for one specimen? How fast do their teeth grow?

75gal minimum to house a Blackspotted Puffer (aka dog faced)
I'm not to sure about the speed at which their teeth grow. If a varied diet is provided eg- shrimp, squid, clams, krill, fish, the teeth should stay in check.
And remember that 13inches is a achievable specimen in a captive environment.

Thanks for the help.

Just realized I have been spelling Arothron wrong.
