LOL...that is kind of funny!
Sure, I will answer what I can and I am sure many other experienced puffer keepers will chime in. I have kept a Mappa about 4 years ago. Beautiful fish but just hard to keep to full size because they get so big. I found they grow fast to about 10-11" (inch a month almost) and then then slow a bit until 12-14" where they really start to slow down quite a bit in growth. They do reach 25" in the ocean but more likely 20-22" in aquariums I think. What size tank are you thinking? At least to start with?

I was the one crab's is refering to. Ihad a mappa for about 2 and a half years I would still have him but he started to bite my dogface. My dogface is my fav fish so I had to get rid of the mappa. He was abo ut 14 inches beatiful fsh. I gave him back to the store I bought him from and they sold him to someone with a 1000g tank, wich is good as I was more concerned with getting him a good home. I feel the same way about my fish as my dogs, if I ever the room to build a bigger tank and the money to run it i would def get another one. here are a few pics
