Thanx and i hope you find one


Thanx so much liz, i still have lots to learn this is the first pufferfish that ive ever kept. I hope you get one, one day.

And thanx so much for the kind words they always mean so much to me

just a awesome fish.. i have always been in awe of them.. all puffers.. but they are very nasty... even though they look so sweet.. so i hope if he has tank mates they are safe....they are monsters for sure...

I've heard that when raised in a community, they do fine for a while, sometimes for years, then snap one day & eat the whole tank. Some oddballs stay peaceful for life, but I dont think that is common... I've never had one, but one day I will!

Mbus tend to be a little more aggresive when they are younger. They like to fin nip, but as they age it tends to go away. All of the Mbu I have ever kept are super peaceful, unlike Fahakas who kill for fun.

I have two at the moment, my little 3 in guy picks on the 10in one. (no marks, just swims at him)

The only thing they are aggresive towards, are crawdads.

These are older pics but pleny of tankmates and clown loaches without so much as a nibble.

Not mine. Just a photo I took of one at a Store near Toronto.

Very nice fish! My LFS has a monster Mbu in their show tank. They say he's 32"+ but that seems a bit exaggerated IMO. He's every bit of 26 or 28 inches, but 32 is a stretch.

We need a picture of that please!!!
