It has great dimensions. I would love if it was another foot longer but 6'x3' will allow you to keep most fish comfortably.
Mbu possibility
- Thread starter follen
- Start date
Our Mbu has pretty much stopped growing at 25"-26" in length. By that, I mean that he has not gotten any bigger in the last year. Fish, of course, grow throughout their lives but just at a greatly reduced rate. I have heard of Mbu getting 30" or even 36" but personally think this is the exception to the rule. Many of the big ones I have seen on the web or in person were like ours and right around the 25" range. based on that, I think we can safely operate on judging tank size for a 25" long fish. The 300DD is pretty much the bare minimum I would consider but it seems to be plenty of room for ours. At least in my experience.
I don't see a problem with a 40 as a temp growout for a 2-3 baby Mbu. The bigger problem would be possibility of the Mbu being bullied. Your next issue would be with my experiences, once young Mbu's get comfortable they will start "testing" everything around them. This means chunks will be missing from fins of other fish and possibly even more damage. Finally, what are your plans for the next stage of the growout?
Right I have 110g for his next stage then I was thinking maybe a like a large plastic container like a pond filter box, this is all just maybes as I'm hoping to be moving soon so we will have to see. Also I love my jd and wouldn't want them to damage Eachother so mite set up a 30g for the jd. Also have some plecs in there which I take would need to be removed, And give the mbu the 40g. Several questions I have a ready supply of cray fish from a local river system the American signal cray. I would not feed a puffer them straight from the river if I was to set up a quarantine tank how long would I have to keep them in there before feeding them to the puff.
Thanks for the help guys don't want torush into a monster like the mbu before gettin all the info.
