We moved our 4" O.S. into her new 15 gallon last night and after some sand moving, she's started to move rubble in and around her new den. To our surprise she picked up a rock the size of a golfball and swam it up into the water column, then down into her den! The rock was slightly porous but still almost half her size! It was pretty cool seeing her take off like a Sikorsky sky crane helicopter with a heavy payload.
I know that studies have been done on smasher's striking power, but what about their brute swimming strength?
In a related subject, I always have to roll my eyes at mantis-trap suggestions saying that they are not able to climb out of a smooth walled container. From what I've observed, they seem more formidable in short distances than most fish!
Such a cool pet...
