New 535 Gal Freshwater Puffer Fish Tank / Need Advice

[Perchmonger]

I have a 535gal Planted Discus community tank; but switching to a freshwater Puffer planted tank; most of the 50 previous inhabitants have been relocated. Now I need to know what kind of puffers you would put in it and how many. I know puffers are Il-tempered and like to be alone, but what if any tankmates would you also put in there. I was thinking maybe 2 or 3 Tetraodon lineatus "Fahaka Puffer or many more of the smaller puffer like the, Colomesus Asellus Peruvian Puffer; possibly 10 or 12 of them. I'm anxious to get started and I have started draining the tank and doing an 80% water change and my 75gal sump has 3 Gen-X PCX150 2250 GPH External Water Pumps ready to push this beast. Need suggestions! Tank Dimensions are 8Ft Long x 4FT Tall x 3FT wide and 750lbs Empty and 4000lbs Full!




Thanks George
