I face a similar problem with my guy, so I definitely know how you feel. Mine needs a bigger home and right now, the tank I was going to put the Fahaka in, has my Mbu in and I can't get a home for my Mbu until I sell the tank that's in the spot where a bigger tank can fit. It's all very depressing, but never mind about me. I hope things work out for you with yours.
I know all too well how you feel.
All of last year I was fumbling around with enclosures in my square self-contained bachelor apartment when I was paring up some albino fat tailed gecko breeder couples. Different size and temperament played a factor, I found myself rather stressed over the otherwise easy to keep critters.
I am still jealous over the fact that some of you keep MBUs, and I'm sure many of us are. To be honest I like them so much more than fahakas.
I also think it's a good thing to take a step back and appreciate the awareness we have of our puffers, unlike so many owners out there. This website has done a fabulous job at advocating proper puffer keeping.
There's definitely value in keeping up with the bench mark,
so let's give ourselves a hand and good luck to us both!
