thanks guys hes more 15- 16" range, have him in a 110 for quarantine and let him recover a little from the previous owner and hes only about 2" from front to back of the tank, ill try to get a more accurate measurmen though, but hes very long and slender, also hes got these white spots on his fins and tail, almost look like pimples on the tail, any idea what that is or how to cure it??? ive never seen that except on a flowerhorn i had but it was on his head, turned out to be like a flesh eating bacteria, had a dent in his head for a while then recoverd from it, could this be the same thing????

I would definitive treat with heat and salt. He does also look to be a little on the skinny side for my liking anyway.

thats exactly what im doing with the quarantine, and thats what im recovering him from hahahahaha he did look too skinny to me also, kinda looks cool though to have a long slender mbu, not starving slender but fit so to say hahahahaha

 

[slapaho]

how high of a temp do you use though when you turn up the heat???

i have one that i keep in a buddies tank in arizona. maybe he will post pics for me

 

[kevinfleming21]

Haha you wish dude!

 

[kevinfleming21]

I would say 88-89 on the temps and one tsp per 10 gallon on the treatment.

Very true, look for signs of always being hungry with no weight gain, or white stringy poo.
