Two of Twenty ( Update of my new MBU )

Post by Mikeyburnsey »

Just to let you all know, my new MBU Puffer called Midge is fine, he eats well, I feed him once a day, but there is snails in the tank, the food I give him is prawns, muscle and muscle in a shell, is there any thing else you guys feed yours?
Water changes is every day, one day will be a small amount, to remove uneaten food and poo, then a 50% water change, I put the lights on in the evening, for about 3 hours, he is now getting use of them me :D
I take on advice, but refuse to be bullied by those who think they are in control!! Mikey

No reason to continue starting new threads. Please stick to one thread about your mbu.

I'm just curious, is there any reason that you only have your tank lights on for 3 hours a day? Is the tank in an area that naturally bright (by a window, etc.)?
