MBU number 2

Post by oldfish »

Well now I've done it. I took in another mbu that outgrew its welcome.This one is about 13" only about 5" shorter than Ziggy but less than 1/4 the body bulk.I've had him a week, for now he is in a 180 gallon homemade tank for quarantine Image

Wow, that's a beautiful fish! The more I see them, the more I want one. Congrats and good luck with him/her!

Wow. Two mbus! Water changes... what a nightmare! I bet the upkeep will be worth it, though. He's gorgeous.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."
