I re-named my Midas Pup. He sure acts like a puppy. Recently I just started petting him, now I can stroke him a lot! And they say they're aggressive...
Sometimes he bites at the glass so hard his jaws make a loud snapping sound and he gets pushed back by the force. Sometimes he jumps and hits the lid really hard. Oh yeah, and he comes at me fast when I get up close to the tank, often crashing into the glass wall. Once I was trying out new foods for him, and when I was walking back to the kitchen I saw out of the corner of my eye him jumping pretty high. He tried to get out. So now I never leave the lids open unattended. He's been consistently growing an inch every month now, I've had for about 7 , and he's about 7 inches now. I just did a water change yesterday, and he attacked my algae scraper and algae scrubber. That latter of which he tore some thread off of. He often makes things difficult by following the scraper around, I need him out of the way when doing maintenance, because I've been bit when he didn't have teeth and being only 4 and a half inches then, wasn't too strong. That hurt enough. Now he has teeth and they seem to be getting longer every day. And I know how hard he can bite from the algae scraper. However, it seems like he's trying to affectionately nip me when I pet him. After all, he can't always be mad at me. He's adorable...
