Hey Fatty!

We have a pet who lurks in a tank in our kitchen getting nervous whenever we make garlic butter

Meet Fatima

We thought she was a male for the first year of her life and we called her 'Fatty'. Then one day she produced a stack of eggs so we renamed her Fatima as we didn't want her getting a complex about her weight.
Not that it would probably worry her. Crayfish need to shed their skins to grow and they leave an entire crayfish outer (down to legs & antennae) lying in the tank, which scares the hell out of you when you first see it. Fatima likes to eat her previous shell, down to the last claw.

That crayfish is just full of herself sometimes.
