Hes still in the 4x2x2 at the moment, hes a very active and happy fella with fins up and everything, gets very excited. He was living with a 5" ruby shark and still is. He was feeding on shelled mussle weve got a bag of that. The owner ended up buying a Potamotrygon dumerreli from us. Ill get new pix soon.

At the moment we have JD, texas, and a lot of other American and african cichlids. Best bet is to come down and see for yourself. Shop link and details are in my signature

Ive had loads of customers comment on him and compliment him this weekend, we had a customer offer us a lot of money for him (wont say how much but ALOT) But you could see the buyer wanted it for bragging rights and to show off more than anything, and the tank is nowhere near good enough, so was an instant NO!!!! We have good ethics

Also i spoil him alot, i hope that dwaine doesnt find out im seeing another Mbu on the side!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :O

Glad your shop actually has ethics with Mbu's, ever LFS around here sell them without even asking if they know how big they get, if you know what to feed them or your tank size

We were offered £450, that would have been a good profit and quick turn over but, it was a firm NO. If it had been a good sized tank and was going to a good home would have been considered and for less, but hes our pet now

I had to tell the LFS I got Naboo from how big they get as they didn't know (or made out they didn't know)

It was funny we had a customer in today before closing and shes a nice customers and was talking to me about the puffer, and i said i have one too, only around 5". She said you do know how big they get dont you. Made a hand gestrure to show like 1 metre, i thought wow! a customer that actually knows the honest truth!
