It was from a claw I think.

I know I love my fahaka. I'd love a mbu but I don't have a tropical pond!

I would also like a cross river

I missed out twice on a crosse river. Both times the only person I've heard of who brings them in here was sold out less than two hours of the list being sent out. it's been four plus years since he last had them in :(
He has some Stanley pool right now but I'm not impressed enough to fork over around $500 with shipping

I have seen one for sale (although I haven't been into fish keeping as long as you). Pier aquatics had one in for £150 which I thought was a really good price.

I wouldn't be keen on ordering one as I have loads of people getting fahakas instead.

What did you have your mbu in?

You not think? I would think at least 9x4x3 for a 3ft fish.
Depth yes at least 4' but 7' length should be enough.

I just find the one persons reason to be way too extreme.

Fahakas can hit 24"-30" mbu the same or just a bit bigger.

Fahaka 180 gal min

Mbu 1000 gal min

All to do with water quality nothing to do with space

I have never heard of a 2ft fahaka. Though they grew to 18" max!
There's a guy here who has one close to 22" the fish is around 6 years old.

I've seen on a few other forums 18"+ a few times. On MFK there's is or was a thread full of huge fahakas and Mbus. I can't find the thread. There's is also a thread talking about the whole mbu and a 1000 min. I thought it was an interesting read. I can't find that one too.

With puffers a lot of info is old and outdated.

I use the the puffer forum. They get very defensive on there about giant puffers! I hope mine doesn't get to 22" I will need a bigger tank!
