It's not banned, it was the immediate and plentiful smackdowns that were more the problem.

I understand... :-)

Guess we all want healthy, happy fish at the end of the day... and people can get a little carried away.

Hope this Mbu will have a happy life, in a suitable environment. And that he/she is very loved. :D

I don't know his age as I only had him 2 weeks.I'd guess about a year old?
