we'll be successful this year if you can focus on three things, and three things only: Your family, your religion, and the Monster Fish you own.

That should be plenty big enough for it.

Remember to create clean new stock for your breeding tank if you insist on using feeders. I recommend doing this by isolating the livebearers when they seem ready to pop, and returning them to their old tank as soon as they finishing pooping out babies. Then raise these "clean water spawned" babies for yourself, feeing your fish their offpsring. Doing this breaks the trend where livebearers are tough enough to live long enough not only to wait out a quarantine, but to breed, all while still harboring parasites and illnesses that drastically shorten their lives and have an even nastier effect on fish like your puffers.
No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.
