ROFL, herman was the name given to the finest (and only) MBU Puffer in the world, yes, the world.

I hunted him for days, then finally found him from and a very very big thanks to mr nick who was working extremely hard but still had time to assist. Also waiting for her but she does not know it is a "whispers" Fish tank. :)

I think herman winked at me last time I was thurr

We need a pic of herman and I am back in Missouri, we have a seator coming out this week and are spending the day with the local media tomorrow, bleh. :(

Herman will be picked up on Thursday.
I am excited...so very excited.

[alexarae]

Nick and Delock, I'm not sure what you two had to do with Herman's....hunting, but from what David has said, thank you both.

[edmlfc]

Are you getting a Mbu? I am soooooooooo jealous.

[alexarae]

lol....yeah, it was my v-day present.
I'm excited for him...I wonder when I'll be needing my 1000 gallon tank though.

[edmlfc]

When your nitrates are going up so high that you are having to do daily 100% water changes.
If you keep just the Mbu alone in the tank you might be able to get away with a 500 gallon. I've never kept one so I don't have much experience with them. But the stories I've heard were not good with smaller tanks. One story was about someone that had a Mbu in a 110 gallon whose nitrates would go up to 180 every two days. Just be prepared! That's the best advise I can give you.

And congrats on your new puffer. I want to see lots of pictures.

[alexarae]

lmao. if he needs 100% water changes every two days....I'm going to need to take pictures fast.
Now I'm worried about keeping him alive!

[edmlfc]

Didn't mean to scare you. I'm sure you will do fine. The guy that had a Mbu in the 110g had him for 4 years I think. At 2 years old he was already 17" long. Just start with the biggest tank you can fit through the door then upgrade from there. You can do it! I know you can!

[alexarae]

lol, I will keep him for as long as he fits in my 100g.
After that...he will have to be adopted out. *hint hint*

[alexarae]

By the way....I can't get david to answer his phone.
Does anyone know where Herman is located?
I am picking him up tomorrow...I just have no clue from where.

[edmlfc]

lol, I will keep him for as long as he fits in my 100g.
After that...he will have to be adopted out. *hint hint*

Talk to Delock, I hear he gets big tanks for dirt cheap.

[Nickintex]

Fish Ranch on 59 and Bellaire.
Was she not supposed to know?

[edmlfc]

If it was her V-day gift I wouldn't think it mattered now.
