I have not been a stranger to large fish for a good while now and with everything big loved I gotta say an MBU has been on my list of really want to have for about 5 or so years easily. Dont worry I can house the fish just fine. He will be a small fish honestly. To small to start with and lots of worry and stress because everything else is big and bigger and huge and aggressive eating. Dont get me wrong I can baby a fish like my 3 inch fire eel that is now almost 30 inches but it takes more work than throwing it in with the horde or other horde. I found an mbu local and it seems in good health and everything that I can tell from an owner who loves these guys like they should be. Owner says he has owned the mbu for about 2 years and the fish is only about 7 to 8 inches long. I heard they grow to a foot in a year or a little more. I honestly expected a little more growth and size from a fish kept that long that gets really big. Said kept in a 220 gallon tank which is plenty large but I also dont know full history of a grow out before that or what. Said its been feeding on shrimp main diet with snails and clams as well. Just asking to see if I can find out any input from knowledgeable people. Thanks and dont ask Justin for his input. Wife and him are wanting me to buy it already and stop thinking about it. I just want to double check myself on everything.
