Mbus & discus may work, if you get a nice one & have an extra 1000g tank laying around.

There is absolutely no reason a fish wouldn't grow to or exceed the size of of it's wild counterparts in captivity, if housed & fed properly. They have no enemies nor do they have to hunt for food & can be treated for disease. The only thing prohibiting this is improper housing, which is stunting the fish or improper diet.

ok I guess SA's it is.

Would it be better to get a single one or 3?

Im selling all my preds..

You want a group of at least 3. They are one of the few puffer species that prefer to school and are more comfortable in a group.
