Info Wanted On Mbu

[Fella]

I always thought mbu was swahili for 'rock'

I just checked it online, and it does come up as mosquito. Odd.


Minimum tank size for a fahaka is 4x2x2, but, if you can, bigger is always better for tank space for any fish.

Red Eye can be one of about 6 -8 different species....Its a regular mistake by people who dont know much about Puffers to label them all "Red Eyed Puffers" LFS are regular offenders. The only way to label Puffers is via the Scientific name imo. Even them the "Target" group of Puffers (becuase of the target roundals on their body) all look fairly identical until maturity.

For example, my Avatar is of my Male Carinotetraodon Salivator Puffer, and guess what, he and she for that matter both have red eyes!
