I have them take food from my fingers, too, and the other day, one "missed" a little bit when going for the snail, and my finger got pinched a bit.

OK, will do. Due to water change tomorrow and will update then. He's doing well!

here are a couple of photos. I added some things from Tannin Aquatics to the tank for a more naturalistic feel (soaked for a while so not to get a ton of tannins, worried about pH change.) He has a buddy, a male Crenicichla Compressiceps. I say they're buddies because the pike knows that the puffer is messy so he can get snail scraps from him and tends to follow him around.
My snail / shrimp tank is slow to get going but there are a ton of baby snails on board and baby shrimplets. Both the puffer and the pike will eat the baby shrimplets so even though I like the look of the shrimp tank it's really just a food tank. Can't wait until the snails are more established. (Only time you'll hear that in the hobby LOL)
The lily/lotus plant is new and he really likes it. He will sleep on the lower leaves.
