Sparky, Humphry, the possibilities are endless!

And what do you mean by arrow tank?

I will move a arrow out and the fish will go in.

I put the baby in a 6x2x2 after much thought!
tankmates -
2x plecos 1x 5" 1x10"
20-30 tetras diffrent species
10ish barbs
6-7 loaches
some platies danios and a 5" fire eel!

oh and about 20 apple snails ha

i decied tonight when im home ill take a new vid of her... shes about 3.5" now and fat as hell...... she is not affraid of anything atall whereas bubs will swim to the other side of the tank when im cleaning she will follow my hand. sometimes getting too friendly and attacking the syphon. shes bit me twice but she has slowly started to realise that its not food ha.

either vid posted tonight or tomorrow morning ill get her doing her little im hungry dance no doubt.... shes figures out how to handle mussles already even though some are twice her size shes a smart little girl....... and the clown loaches love her ffor opening them haha

Fun! Sounds like she's in a good home - I have a ~5" mbu and she's FULL of personality.
