This person has a MBU, Fahaka, and a GSP all in a 40 gallon tank.. Unreal. People really need to research before buying...

It looks like he has a GSP, MBu, Nile, Figure 8 and I am not sure about the one on the right.

Wow I saw, Fahaka, Mbu, SAP, F8, GSP and I'm sure there's a red eye red tail in there to (looked very blured but had the white belly and dark top)

Having that Fahaka in there is crazy, it'll destroy everything

Come on guys... it is dated on oct/2002, probably the puffers owner didn't have especific information like we have nowadays. Even so we can find wrong information about puffers in the internet, the only words I can trust come from TPF! :D

I wonder how they got on i wonder if the lineatus got used to the tankmates, agressive species are usually more tolerant of tankmates when they are grown on together when young. but it was 7 yrs ago!

As wrong as this probably sounds and as crazy as it is to have a Fahaka and a Mbu together, I thought it was great to actually see all the puffers I love together in one tank, I'd love to have seen a video of the tank
