You may know this already, but be carefull feeding it too many fish only, in it's diet. In addition to needing hard-shelled foods to keep it's teeth trimmed, it can cause liver problems. I received a T suvattii, that I believe was fed a fish-only diet. Died within 6 weeks of getting it. When I dissected the fish, it's liver was hard & yellow.
