They had one at Tropical Fish Depot off of Alameda last week. I don't know if it was a baby though. It was about 5"-6" long. -

Re: MBU Puffer
Mbu puffers will not be at any petsmart. Most babies that I have seen run ~$100Scarecrow : I haven't got a brain... only straw.
Dorothy : How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.Comment

Re: MBU Puffer
Alex at Ultimate Fish in Spring gets them from time to time, that's where I bought mine. About $100-125. Remeber these fish grow extremely fast, have fin nipping habits and will only eat frozen shrimp or live crayfish/crawfish. Ask me how I know...Comment

Re: MBU Puffer
I have one whos about 10inches now. here is now much it grew in about 6 months or less
I have guppies and other assorted cheap fish in there and they have done just fine together. i've seen pictures of discus with puffer sized chunks taken out
the only puffers petsmart has are dwarf puffers, the opposite end of the puffer scale. They are alot more lively and easier to care for. You can figure on about 450 gallons for a full grown puffer MIN. thats 6feet x 3feet x 3feet, give or take.
Mine is about 10 inches and i have someone intersted in buying it, if you are interested let me know. unless I get lucky shortly and find a BIG tank for cheap I'm going to have to find Popeye a new home."Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" -- Benjamin Frankli

Re: MBU Puffer
the puffer at petsmart probably isnt a mbu.. ive started noticing a lot of these little puffers showing up at a lot of the fish stores, but theyre not mbu.. theyre some kind of green spotted puffer. i think i saw them for 2.99 at about 2inches or so.Comment

Re: MBU Puffer
Petco and walmart will carry green spotted puffers, Petsmart only carries dwarf.
green spotted and figure 8s are aggressive! they also need to be brackish to full marine. Dwarf and MBU are totally freshwater."Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" -- Benjamin Frankli

Re: MBU Puffer
though others have had success with these, mine never really took interest in them. I guess I had spoiled mine with crayfish...Originally posted by Mzungu";p="Comment

Re: MBU Puffer
Every time I have been to Fish R Us they have had quite a few from babies to a huge one they keep up front. Haven't been there in a while, but you might want to search the forum for Fish R Us before you try them. They seem to have quite a few unhappy customers.
