I have not known any personally around here, but I know puffers can make it to 20 in hobby tanks, 30 almost certainly is possible, just not at all common. That bespeaks a level of care uncommon in home tanks.
People get old just like pets. It has to happen that folks may become unable to care for long-term pets and may have to re-home them.

Oh have you had snow up your way yet? We are apparently getting it next week which should be interesting
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Bertie 83, we had snow last weekend but it had melted by the evening, I'm really hoping the whole country doesn't grind to a halt again once the white stuff puts in an appearance
Purple candle, I'm hoping to go this weekend so will get some pictures

He's so adorable
He always comes right up to the glass and rubs his face along and looks at you as if to say, well hello there!

Maidenhead Aquatics by any chance?? They used to have a mbu in thier Newbury branch back in the late 1990's which was around 2 ft then...Beautiful fish..I always wanted a tank the size that one was in.
