Re: MBU & GSP on MFK
I'm starting to give up on some of the Puffer Keepers on MFK. Seriously. They ask for advice, don't listen and go ahead with what they want to do, regardless of the health of the fish. It's sickening really.

Re: MBU & GSP on MFK
especially on that site....... it kills me to see the idiotic info given to people about tankmates and tank sizes. in a thread not too long ago someone was saying that it is OK to put a Mbu in a 500 gallon tank for life...........

Re: MBU & GSP on MFK
That site is one of the horror shows for this hobby. It is wonderful illustration of the lunatic fringe of the hobby.

You are correct. I believe the thread was... "multiple MBUs"? Pufferpunk and I were trying to explain to him (I even linked this site to an RTR quote").... All was futile. I know this guys gonna do it anyways.

Everyone there was actually cheering him on to do it. Except me & other folks from here.

Re: MBU & GSP on MFK
I believe, I told him to stop throwing everyone in his tank...lol. It would be the wise thing to do when a large or any puffer kills tank mates. Maybe treating the MBU kinda like owning a fahaka when it comes to tank mates. I think I should had added that last part in the other forum. But all jokes aside, I really hope he does change is way about wanting tankmates for his MBU.
