Puffer Behavior

already given up?

I just can't seem to keep them healthy. I feel so bad killing anything and the puffers are my favorite. I am so scared when it comes to them, I know they are hard to care for and I just can't seem to figure it out. Plus I don't have the money to keep dumping on my fish tank, I don't have a job right now and I am in school and that takes up most of my time and money. Everyone here knows so much and I feel so stupid by contrast hee hee! Hopefully I can someday get better!!

it's all about learning. you'll have it in no time I'm sure.
you were a bit unlucky with puffers this time, but I'm sure it will all work out.

Well thank you so much for the kind words! I think I might have just bought some bad puffers. I went back today to see the new salt water puffer (porc) at my lfs and the owner is so sweet and I asked he about the f8 and gsps she had and she was so upset the last shipment of puffer were very sick, they were hardly eating and one had no eyes and was laying on the bottom just dying. She is treating them (I didn't ask how) but they were looking a little better then yesterday. This is where I got my puffers from and she told me she isn't buying puffers from where ever she got them last. I just wanted to buy them all and help them but I am so broke! Hopefully she can help them shes he best fish person I know so I know they are in good hands now, but maybe I just got some that were sick. I think that once I get a job this summer I can focus on getting a bigger tank and taking care of them better. With help from this forum I think I can get better and hopefully move up to s/w soon! Thanks again!
