800 gallons for a single Mbu is enough to house the fish for life.
Nope.

Read what RTR says. I know he knows more about puffers than you.
Second.... look at this...

Kevin, do you still have this? I'm a little shocked.... What happened to change your stance so drastically in the last few months? I was villified for entertaining an
mbu in a 375 in this thread
http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/fo...d.php?t=350204. Now I see you have one? Did you get a 600 gallon tank and I missed it?

I really do not know I will ever be able to own a
MBU although it is one of the fish i most desire to keep. They require such huge footprints to thrive, you would have to commit an entire basement of your house to a tank for these guys.

You are not going to be able to get anything other than what you have already rejected, and that is a valid opinion from people that would know more than "average" about puffers and the
Mbu in general. The only scientific fact in this situation is that the more room the
Mbu has, the better he will be suited for that environment. Other that that....what else do you want?

Well, I would consider puffer punk more of an expert than myself, but I would say nothing smaller than a 600 gallon IMO.
Yes, I'm probably giving you a little grief, but only pointing out what has been said vs what has been done.

Sounds like you change your mind about this often enough... Maybe you think this way cause you have one in a tank that's too small, so now you want to justify it?
