Introduction :)

Post by Mayberts »

Hey, thought I would introduce myself :)

I have been keeping fish for a few years now, but got my first puffer in October. I have Mbu, which was a gift from my wife, he's in 6x2x2, I know the tanks not big enough for a fully grown Mbu.
I have been thinking about a new tank for when he get too large or donating him to my local aquarium.

I have 3 tanks, the Mbu tank, a 40 litre with a crown tail fighter and just got a dennerle scappers tank which I'm hoping to set up this weekend.

[welcome]
Please consider having a tank built for your mbu. I'm sure there are way too many underhoused mbus being donated to the local aquarium. I hear of so many being sold in the UK to unsuspecting buyers.

you're right, mine was a gift that I knew nothing about until it was too late. I have the room for a bigger, so I may look into this at some point.
