|  Spittin' Puffer hehehe, my gs puffer is great! he eats out of my fingers(well, i grew out the nails on my thumb and pointer finger to hold the shrimp, less chance of gettin my fingers nipped) he jumps out of the water to grab shrimps, and this morning he busted out a new trick on me  i was holding the shrimp a little higher then usual, and after a few jumps ending in failure, he SPIT water at the shrimp, knocking it out of my grip! is that cool or what??

| My archers do that, its very cool. However they sometimes become vindictive. I've had them spit cold water all over my back while doing water changes on their tank. Apparently I was pissing them off .

| that's pretty cool loach.i have heard of this before.i was reading about puffers and boxfish and the article said that many of these fish can use jets of water to propel themselves or in a captive setting they learn to use their jet to shot water to the surface to attract the attention of their keepers.i just love all the weird things fish can do.who says that fish are dumb pets?
