Mbu Puffer - That Fish Place Freshwater Fish Species Profile

damn that MBu looks very skinny... they need to feed him better

just wanna ask what fishes is ok to pair with your puffer fish? mine has parrots knife fish bala and rainbow sharks hammerhead sharks green terror convict all are still babies execp the bala shark and parrots.. what can you recommend plz

they don't grow that large very quickly.. I had my MBU for 4 yrs , and he was a foot long, kept him with other large fish till he was 2 !! he never ate fish, just snails , worms and river shrimp ( 28 in one go!) all other fish are a bit boring after you've had a mbu, they really do have their own little character!

The puffer in the video is alive and well a year after the video was shot, and is in no way starved or mistreated. The Mbu is in a display in our store, and is given all the attention that it needs, and is fed a varied diet of shrimp, fish, and snails. The video reccomends a minimum size tank of 150 gallons, but also states that a larger aquarium would be better given the adult size of the fish. Thank you for your concerns

that mbu looks very under cared for and will prolly die if continuesly staved like that they grow very large and i should know ive got a 30 inch speciman in 1000 gal. system hes always hungery its been five years and he was about 3 inches when i got him (not sure what sex it actually is) but these are special animals and i feel bad for the poor puff in this video that is obviously being mistreated petplace you should be ashamed of yourselves ....

God, they get huge! You never think of puffers as big fish.

Minimum tank size of 150 gallons... jesus.
