i currently have a mbu, getting another this sat. i have a tank i can put the 2nd one in but i was wondering if anyone here has had actual experience in housing them together. id like to keep them both together if possible.
 
No experience with MBU's, but if you want "community" puffers, why not get a school of South American Puffers (Colomesus asellus).

Not only do they stay smaller, but also prefer being kept in groups unlike other puffers... So maybe worth looking into???
 
Most fish stores locally that have them house them separately while waiting for them to sell so possibly not...If you paid half as much as they sell for in Houston, I wouldn't risk it...Puffers have different personalities...I recently acquired a MBU because the owner said they were biting his other fish even though the majority of them play well with others...If you have another tank I would separate them...Just my opinion though...
