We got him in August and he was almost near death
He was about 1-2inches then, he is now roughly 8inches including tail
So I'd say he is roughly 8-9 months??
He eats mini raw frozen crabs from TNT we cut them in half
Apple snails, cray fish, krill, mysis shrimp, market prawn and anything else he can really get his fins on. haha
Thanks Chloe, I love puffers, they're definitely my favorite type of fish!! 
Well I would say definitely get a puffer, they are very interactive and lots of fun to have. They get along great, my puffer pretty much ignores everyone else. He's just a big happy guy haha.. but as with most fish they do get more aggressive as they age, Kaleeko is still pretty young so we keep a good eye on them. He hasn't shown any aggression to any of his tank mates and he's had mates his whole life. So who knows?

Have you tried showing your b/f pictures of a nicely plants/decorated tank maybe that will change his mind??? btw, is the tank yours or his??? coz if its yours then technically can't you just do what you want with it???
Haha actually, he is the one who got the mbu first, and he started the fish hobby. Once I seen the mbu I fell in love with the little guy, and the hobby. I then bought him the tank for one of our anniversary's, so it is pretty much technically all his, but he says its mine too. lol He likes planted tanks, but we're both unsure of how to do a planted tank. For my congo tank we're going to add a lot more decor, and for Kaleeko's final tank he will have much more decor. As for this tank it is just temporary, I want to get a fahaka once we move the pbass into a 230gallon and kaleeko into a larger tank after that. lol Lots of fun!
