well i already have a silver aro, 3 ocellaris pbass, clown knife, 2 blood parrots, and a gibbiceps pleco. not looking to get a mbu anytime soon, but i suppose when the time comes i could grow out the mbu in another tank with some dithers and add it to the main tank and see if it works out, if not i ...

hi im new here and i am looking for a good puffer for a 38g tank,36x12x18h. something maybe in the 6-8" range? i am planning on it to be a solitary yet interesting fish. the tank will have heavy filtration as i hear puffers are messy beasts.thanks for any info/pics anybody may have.
