Hard to believe Spike has been with us for a month or maybe even over. I introduced the large green mega block a few days ago. His first reaction was to ink and swim a safe distance away where he sat with the conehead behavior for about 10 minutes. After he realized it wasn't going to come after him, he stalked very cautiously for about an hour. When he finally reached out and touched it with one leg, he must have realized it wasn't a threat as he was all over it. Of course he's not big enough where his weight would make it sink, like Ink used to do, but it has become a favorite pass time to stalk it, hitch a ride for awhile at the surface and then jet away. He bothers me daily for food. I think he sleeps when we are gone cause as soon as I come into my bedroom at the end of the day, he's out and then plastered on the glass on the front of the tank watching. I think he's tripled in size since he arrived.

Sounds like he's doing great! That green megablock deserves a spot in the TONMO Hall of Fame.

Glad to hear that Spike is doing so well and has a new toy. Maybe he'll learn to ride it around just like Ink did! Nice pics!

Wow, great pics! Blinky isn't growing quite that fast, but pretty quickly none the less.
