I am getting a indoor pond for him 210gal round pool or may be a 400gal anyway the puffer is about 16in now and he is in a tank by him self right now but when I get the pond I would like to put some of my eels in there as well a 24in yellow head moray and 36in tiger snake eel do you think the puffer will bother them

He might. My friends Stellatus is only about 8" and has a very long list of tankmates he has eaten, including a snowfake eel and 2 lionfish.

Your eels are much bigger though, so maybe not. My concern would be how to keep the eels in the pond and not on your floor.

I think I will try the yellow head first and see how it goes because I like the tiger snake eel more and is alittle more rare

Yeah you may want to be careful. They are big but that Puffer is going to get HUGE. If my friends 8" Stellatus could eat a 1' snowflake, my guess is that a 3' puffer could eat the 3' eel no problem. I guess it depends on the individual though.

mine took about 1 1/2 to get to 15in but the last 2 years may be 1in but he killed the heater and I never got him a new one and the water stays about 72 so that might be why
