Puffer Compatibility

Post by rl1oyd »

Hi. I am selling my mbu as i am converting to marine. It is proving very difficult to move him on no one seems interested. A guy has inquired tonight if he would go in a tank with a large arowana oscar's and catfish? His tank is 12x2 x2 twice as long as mine. Thought check with you guys. Cheers.

Considering the minimum that fish will grow is 30", a 2' tank isn't big enough.

If you read my post again it says 12foot x 2foot x 2foot now i dont think there would be many people with a tank this big who would be willing to take him. No i know 2foot would be no good

What I mean is, he won't be able to turn around in there.
