Well I've been noticing a few new burrows in my tank, which seemed out of place. The tunnels gradually got more sophisticated and one day, I see two big ol' eyes staring at me from one of the holes! The bugger is only about half an inch. I actually don't mind him as he does his own thing and doesn't bother anyone. Might have to get a small little tank for him!

+1 fast -- it's small now, but wait until he gets bigger and starts chomping down on some yummy $40 fish
