2 Mbu Puffer in Same Tank?

[nwilson7]

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

 

[nwilson7]

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

And by jumbo, we mean like at least 1100G.

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...

cross river puffers are extremely rare and are mean as fahaka's, that wont work.

they will easily chew thru egg create to kill each other

Cross river puffers can be kept together
