Oh, yes, temperamental's a good word. He's very stand-off-ish. Kind of has a 'Don't you touch me, Human!' stance whenever I bring a finger close to the glass. He backs off. Doesn't dart away, doesn't turn tail and disappear; just flicks his fins and floats backwards, watching me the whole time. Kind of a challenge, almost. ^_^ He definitely seems healthy, though, and sort of...arrogantly content. Like I said. He eats. He swims, he dances through and around the stalks of his little plant, he huffs and flares at his reflection, and he's even blown himself a nice little bit of a bubble-nest in one corner of the tank. Freaked me out when I first saw all the bubbles - 'OMG soap what the hell??' - and then I realized that he must have blown them all. ^_^; Eheh.
