Fat belly

As usual, Martha the Fahaka never finishes her food (instead she demands a fresh piece)....

That belly really is stuffed.....

Now she looks embarrassed.....

And finally retires for her after-dinner nap.....

That is a fat belly, one hungry fish.

Great shots, gorgeous fish.

Yes she does! many juvenile puffers bury themselves when resting.

In the wild, baby Fahaka puffers share their space with huge vicious adult Fahakas and crocodiles!

No wonder they want to hide!

At the moment, she is fed cockles or mussels twice daily and her appetite is growing!

Lord help us when she reaches full size at 18 inches.
