Hi all
Me and my other half have just added a mbu puffer to our tank.
He is only a baby (approx 3/4 inches)
He is amazing and excellent to watch
Any tips on feeding and care would be appreciated.
At the moment he is eating mussels.
Thanks
New owner of mbu puffer

Re: New owner of mbu puffer
Hi where you from? What size tank are you keeping this monster in? Most of us can't accommodate a fish that gets so big. This beast can reach 30" and produces massive bio-load. 1000 gallon recommended.
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Re: New owner of mbu puffer
An mbu is a size down from the fish described below, but do rememeber that 1000 gallons is the minimum tank size suggested. Several times that is better.
