Petey took to murder this last Thursay morning , He munch 1 of my wifes saddleback clowns. So the other one was removed . Im removing the 2 yellow tail damsels this weekend , they are the only other tiny fish with the exception of my Diamond goby . My wife was trying to scold him like a dog, telling him he was a bad Petey at 4:30 in the morning! LMAO!

Nice! I want a porcupine puffer so much! A saltwater LFS got two new ones who are about the size of a tennis ball. They were so cute!

Sorry for your wife's loss though. Bad Petey indeed!

Ahhh, I wish I had the time/energy/money/room to start up a big tank like that. If I ever do I'll definitely have me a porker of my very own!

Is that a bowfront tank, or do I need glasses?
