A word of warning here -- I always considered my suvattii to be very lazy, not the sort of puffers to jump up and do something, except maybe when it's feeding time, and not always then.
I just learned a valuable lesson. I had just done some coconut shells with moss on them, and I thought I would put one in the suvattii tank. I've never had any problems in the past, but I suppose there's always a first.
I had just put my hand in the water, and was about to lower the coconut shell down when I felt pain and a jolt to my finger! I pulled my hand back out and looked in the tank and seen that my newest suvattii was going back down again. And he was giving me the eye like "stick your finger in here again and I will bite it some more!", so this time I inserted the coconut shell down the other end of the tank, keeping my eye on my new little guy the whole time.
I have a whole new respect for my suvattii after this little lesson, as well as feeling sorry for any other fish that get in their way! I never thought I'd have to be wary of my suvattii, but I won't be sticking my fingers in that tank any time soon!
And here I thought I was going to have to worry about the Fang's. You just never know.
And my finger is still hurting!!!
