I've never seen one that big for sale, but I think that you should post that in General FW as Mbus are FW, not BW.

Have you seen one and want to judge if the price is right, or are you just getting a feel for prices right now?

Someone was asking on another site. There'd be no way I could house a fish like that! I don't think they should even be available for sale to the common folk, just to large aquariums.

Yeah, any fish that weighs more than a bowling ball and thinks that the world is its set of tenpins probably isn't an attractive aquarium occupant. I don't think that I've seen a Mbu for sale, though, because there are other, more affordable and feasible puffers out there. Besides, if you want mean, don't people just buy small fahakas and raise them to maturity?

Wow, wish them luck. I just saw Tigerfish juvies for sale at $300 each, so I would think that an asking price on a mature Mbu would be more than that, but I don't see how many buyers they could possibly get at a price like that...I don't know, though, b/c I'm just a lowly college student!

I'll take that back...**************** occasionally has them in their hatchery, so I don't know for sure how rare they are.

Confused, muddling through, and hoping that somehow these ramblings might help.
