How aggressive are MBU's?

[West1]

Just looking to add another fish to my collection. Im thinking of getting a baby MBU to add with my GATF, Armatus Gold Wolf and tankmates.

Will he destroy everyone or are they rather peaceful??

Thanks

Known killers! Once in awhile you find a friendly tolerant one but with your stock I wouldnt risk it....

They tend to leave smaller/fast fish alone. Big Q is... how large is your tank?

I think I got my answer.... but it is a 300gl right now and the MBU is about 5" (maybe a lil smaller)

Thanks, this topic is done

Ive kept MBU's and they are one of my favorite.
Never had one that was that mean at all.

I personally think he would be fine in there, but I have heard of more agressive MBUs before.

If you look around, there are tons of tanks with MBUs that have plenty of tank mates. Some big some small. As long as its not a crab and doesnt look like a worm My Mbus leave it alone.

Don't do it! Mbu's can be extremely aggressive and it is suggested that they live alone.
