I really like mbu puffers. I would like two. I am not sure if I can keep two in the same tank, but at the pet stores they keep them together. I am aware I would need a really big tank and lots of filteration, and to make sure they both get enough food, but would they be okay? I did LOTS of research on this fish(couple years) but now I really want one.

It depends on there personality. I have had them in a community tank and some were killers

I know, but if they were both not agressive, then could I keep the two together or would they fight for food?

Since they wioll be in a jumbo tank. I dont see a fight for food, just feed on opposite sides of the tanks

I agree with enuff space, its def. possible. Although they get to be the largest of the freshwater puffers they are alot more docile than their smaller relatives. And yeah....get a HUGE tank....good luck...;)
