This is my G/fs Mbu we've had him for a month or two. I took these pics with the camera we got for xmas this year it's one of the new nikon D3100s. It's sweet. I took these pics on the auto setting with the 18-55mm VR lens. I've yet to play with the setttings and get some really great pictures.

the mbu is called pete. and he's 7-8" and he's currently in a 54 gallon corner tank with two tankmates. a small "cheshire" pleco and a upside down catfish. He was in with a 5" roseline shark but the shark was picking at pete and he had to be delt with :eek:.

Well enough with the ramblings enjoy the shots.

^^ that thing was a beast. I hope this one gets that big at least. He's growing well.

It's fun to watch his eat. It's weird to hear him eat. The crunching of snail shells and shrimp shells is a cool sound.

Just wait until he gets a little bigger and you can feed him mussels. CRUNCH!
