sorry i didnt know what you guys wanted.
Parameters not to sure dont have any test kits i will get some tomorrow. size about 5". tankmates clown loach and datnoid 4in he dosnt make no trouble. feeding schedule didnt feed him in a while got any ideas on what to feed him? please be specific.
^ How long have you had your MBU for?
As for feeding, hard shelled foods for their teeth, such as de-frosted Mussels, Clams still on shell, de-frosted Shrimp, Scallops, NLS / Massivore Pellets etc are all good for a puffer... Key with feeding is trying to keep it varied a bit, but please no fish live or dead, as they aren't normally piscivores...

Yeah I tested it really good soft water quality and no ammonia nothing I don't remember all of it cuz I'm not home but it's all good there living in a 95 gal Jew btw do you thing he will do well. With a 3in royal p bass?
I forgot to mention that he looks like he's soon better he is rating well and his chillin on this driftwood is this the mbu puffer behavior? If so how do they act?
Can't tell you how MBU's normally act, but glad to hear hes feeling better... since everything else seems on point? whats your water change schedule like? and how much you change?
Also, any plans for future tank upgrade?
