Re: The worst part of keeping puffers...
The loss of any pet is sad, but I agree that 10 years is a decent span for captive fish. You do get credit for your care and can be comfortable that you took decent care of your pet.

Re: The worst part of keeping puffers...
I'm sorry for your loss also. I have raised my lil Puff Diddy for a little over a year and I am pretty sure I lost him today. He never refused food and I am gonna have to remove a bunch of liverock to find the lil guy to give him a proper burial.
