Hello,
Been into this hobby for several decades, but mostly breeding and raising Tanganyikan Cichlids. Along the way I've kept a puffer or two, and always enjoyed their oddities and personalities.
Now I find myself with a couple of spare tanks, and I've begun collecting a few different species that I find available in my LFS.
That being said, I have a spare 125g that's screaming MBU ... So my search is on.
Time to dig into some of the many threads and get caught up....
Cheers!

Rather than getting a mbu you'd be better off getting a fahaka with a tank that size

Thanks Arny for your input, and after reading many posts here last night, I don't want to squeeze a fish into a tight space, and a 125 appears to be too small for the MBU ... so, 2 options. Choose the Fahaka which I have had before and enjoyed a lot, or sell off 4 x 125 and put a 410g in their place.
Decisions...decisions...

Welcome to the forum. A Fahaka would be a great puffer for that 125.

Anyway, here goes:
125g - 5 Geophagus Winemilleri, 5 Mesonauta festivus, 15 Giant Danios ( housed inside for the winter )
125g - 5 Myaka Myaka, pair Astatoreochromis alluaudi , pair Chalinochromis popelini
125g - 8 Cyprichromis sp. Speckleback and fry, pair Lamprologus Ornatipinnis + fry, pair Lamprologus Brevis + fry
125g - Trio Archocentrus centrarchus + fry , Veija Synispilum fry ( 25 growing out ), Synodontis Brichardi.
75g - 6 Neolamprologus Tetracanthus , Trio Cyprichromis Pavo
75g - 5 Cyprichromis Zonatus + fry, 6 Synodontis Petricola + fry
75g - Pair Neolamprologus Nigriventris + fry
75g - Trio Cynotilapia sp. Lion's Cove + fry
75g - 8 Neetroplus nematopus
75g - 10 Tropheops sp. "Chilumba" Mphanga Rocks + fry
75g - 5 Geophagus Altifrons, 10 Buenos aries tetras, 5 L-201, 1 American Bullfrog ( indoors until winters over )
75g - 8 Cichasoma sp.
40b - 1 Australoheros sp. "red ceibal
40b - 5 Gymnogeophagus Balzani
40b - 1 Colomesus asellus
40g - 9 Assorted Pterophyllum scalare
