He was picking at it when I first got down there...but since he sees me as the Feeder of Wonderful Tidbits, he started paying more attention to me. He actually eats out of my hand.

Very unique and beautiful fish. How long have you had him/her?

I've only had him a few days. He's a total pig, and loving his new digs. He was a trade in at LFS... he looked like someone kept him in a nano or something. He just looked horrible..fins were all bent and nasty. After a few days, I went back and checked to see if he was still alive. I felt sorry for him, so brought him home with me.

This evening when I was feeding them, I was trailing the frozen food in the water... that crazy fish followed my hand the entire time (while eating along the way). LOL He's very noisy when he eats off the surface. Sounds like a vacuum.
