Hi all, I'm matt from the UK......... just bought an MBU today and i will update this site as and when i have new experiences to share, although it states they are aggressive... i have been told that if they are brought up in a communitythey are tolerant, however im not chancing that and they are in a new commmunity consisting of one royal plec, and three yellow barbs........all more than capable of holding their own. and the MBU is the smallest fisk in tank......for the meantime....... its day will come. PS girlfriend has named it polly!
