Hey everyone! Need some advice on an MBU puffer set-up!
Background: short and sweet, I housed a 14"+ fahaka in a 120g tank that passed away. He was awesome and I'd get another, but I want to get rid of a few tanks and cut down on my maintenance. Plus an MBU has always been my dream puffer.
I have an 8' x 3' x 2.5' acrylic tank (Black bottom) that Is currently housing aros, knife, catfish, severums, oscars and flag tails. I would like for this to be my only tank, but wondering about compatibility with the MBU.
I am selling most of the current stock. but These are The fish I would like to try to keep with the MBU.
-18" Albino clown knife
-18" Irwini catfish
-16" Irwini catfish
-Flagtails
-Tinfoil barbs
-if necessary, I can add a school of "expendable" fish to help deter any aggression the puffer may have.
I have tons of driftwood and live / fake plants to set the tank up any way you guys recommend. My only preference is to keep it a bare-bottom tank for the sake of maintenance.
Thanks in advance everyone!!
