Yep. She has cute little teeth like a toddler, recognizes me like any pet knows & prefers it's owner & even does tricks for just me (not my husband). Her favorite treats are blueberries & hot dogs. Named her Stampy after Bart's elephant because she used to headbutt the other Tambaqui. Sadly we lost the other 2 (Forrest and Bubba) many years ago so she's all alone. She'll be 18 years in Dec., pretty freaking old for a pet fish.
