Cute Mbu
I see he has a rounded nose/head, I'm sure this must be something to do with what sex they are. I know you're not suppose to be able to tell with out disecting them but I've noticed some Mbu's have that rounded look to their nose/face and others like mine have more bone structure (a little nose and the 2 eyes sticking out, a bit like a frog), just like Ziggy's face/head is round and the other big Mbu you just swopped had much more face/head structure.

If they had no issues being together why didn't you leave them together? Was it just an experiment or is that your future plan?flash.dan wrote:my two were together for 3 days a few weeks back no issue atall

Re: mbu experiment
cutiepie at the time is still agressive during feeding like its going to be her last meal... bubba knows that he gets food either way so hes mor elaid back... cutie pie is getting better but i just dont want any conflict during feeding so currently there split with geos / acaras in diff community setups..... and the huge size different put me off really if she was a little bigger i would be more at ease but with 10" difference bubba could pretty much swallow her wholeoldfish wrote:If they had no issues being together why didn't you leave them together?
