Lost my porky :(
i can't believe it, last night i felt ill and went and laid down for a bit. My girlfriend woke me up and said my porky " SPIKEY LEE " was acting strange. He had his face out of the water?? I rushed in and she was right...he was. I took him out and contained him in seperate small tank and added some para guard and an air pump to get lots of oxygen in the water.....but unfortunately he didnt come through. Strange thing though....he died and was just sitting there....then after a few minutes he came back to life swam a bit half puffed up then died again?? I waited and waited for about an hour and a half to see if he would come back to life again as i was desperate for him not to die.....he was one of my favorite puffers ever. I don't think i'll get another as he was such a character ,i doubt another would be the same. As much as i love coming home to see all my puffers going mad in there tanks, this is the worst thing about it.
