I dove the Amazon tunnel today, and the stupid Arapaima took me for some kind of rival. It wanted a piece of my hide, and the only thing between him and me was my scrub brush. Geesh! I managed to avoid him for the first half-hour or so, probably because I kept tossing food into his mouth, but when I ran out of goodies, it became obvious that he wanted desert (me.) Now, this fish operates in three dimensions a little better than I do, so I could never tell just from which direction the next attack would come. Three times I was able to give him a smart little rap on the snoot with my brush, but it was a battle destined to be lost. I retreated dragging my pride behind me, and exited the tank with no further problem. One of the other divers in the tank with me got hit three times, no damage done to her, but I kind of think that she was the prize the fish and I were in mortal combat for.
Darn, that dumb fish didn't know that Kim was married and had four kids. She is way cute, though.
