To vote yes would be irresponsible. Even though they are really cool, it needs it's own cycled tank and unless you have that (now), I would not suggest getting this fish.
To vote no would be hypocritical. I know if I found a miurus, I would be quick to bring it home. It would be a shame to miss out on a great opportunity. Difference is, I have tanks I can shuffle so that this puffer has it's own personal tank.
In the end, I think the tank should always come before the fish...
Yup... I've got 18g and a 25g quarantine tanks, both of which can be cleared out for a new resident. Wouldn't have considered it otherwise...
150g: 5 archerfish, 1 ornate bichir, 1 yoyo botia, 5 farlowellas, 1 fire eel, 1 silver arowana, 3 leopard bush fish, 1 green scat, 2 baby mbu puffers
75g saltwater: fuzzy dwarf lion, panther grouper, who knows?
46g Brackish (turning into growout soon!): 1 mono, 1 brackish moray eel, 1 GSP, 1 dragon goby, 5 knight gobies, 4 black mollies, 4 sailfin mollies
18g quarantine: 3 baby thinbar dats
25g quarantine tub: 3 p. endlicheri, 2 yoyo botias, 1 red-lip botia, 2 sailfin mollies

Then that's good. If you still want one, I would get the tank all set up and cycled. You can make it miurus (burrowing) friendly too. Just be completely prepared for when they get one in, ya know?
