Paddy ate my finger
I was grabbing the length of cucumber from the tank, the one I put in for the BN's, when I felt Paddy, my male siamese fighter, try to bite my finger. I couldn't believe it. This dude is not shy.
He is prob starving as the tetras are grabbing all the food that goes in there, but a finger?? That has to be too big. lol
I thought I would just share that with you all. He has a rough mouth. Mental!!!

Spud will jump and bite at my fingers or fingernails. He knows I will give him a pellet. If he is hungry my niece can hold her hand over the water and he will jump for her so she will feed him.
He has actually scratched my nail with his teeth before. He is a crazy fish!"Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week....Try the veal."

Bettas are such curious little guys. Everything you do near the tank or even in the same room you can feel 2 eyes on you. lol When I walk past the tank to leave the room he follows me as if to say "Hey, wait. Where ya going!"
When I pull some water out to check parameters he's up close and personal. He's like a foreman on the job...watching, supervising and making sure you're doing everything right. 
You can't play nice with people who don't play by the rules!
