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!
he can share the tank with them no intention on catching them there is probably 70ish

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.

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