Fat Valentini Puffer

[BlueDiamondDiscus]

Are valentini puffers hard to care of?Theyre lifespan?I read a lot about them about that they are readilly available everywhere(at all big fish stores worldwide)and they make cool pets.I had a green brackish puffer that lived 7 years .And my dad had a puffer too (a Fahaka).So valentines' worth the money?They are hardy?They fight with other fish?And the last question;they can live in community tanks?

BEST. FISH. OF. ALL. TIME!!!
I would definitely recommend getting one :)
They're lifespan supposedly can be from 3-5 years in captivity. Mine passed away after owning him for about 2.5 years and the only cause of death I can think of was old age.
A very hardy fish that will become a pet as opposed to just some fish in a tank.
They usually don't get along with other dwarf puffers and can nip corals and long finned fish, but generally get along really well with other fish.
I won't own another tank without a puffer of some sort, with a valentini being my first preference.

I didn t think that your puffer died of old age!They live in tanks for almost 10 years!
