I know, it's hard to believe that my little guy will grow into a big puffer, I am always saying that because he's just so cute that it seems weird to think that he will become a very big puffer in a year's time. :D

I'm learning that puffer fish are like pringles. There is no such thing as only wanting one.

Tanks:
38 gallon: 1 Figure 8 puffer, 1 Dragon Goby, 1 Knight Goby, 3 Black Mollies
30 gallon: 1 Blue Acara, 1 Bristlenose Pleco

Thank you qtrhorse89, I can't believe how quickly he's growing. :D

How is Ratchet by the way, any better?

Yeah they grow like little weeds. My mom came over a few weeks back and wouldn't believe he was the same fish she had seen before lol.

Thanks for asking, but nope still not eating. :( He acts like a completely different fish. Tomorrow I'm going to go pick him up some more ghost shrimp. I can't tell if he's eating them or they are hiding. I hope he's eating them.

Awww.... so sorry to hear that qtrhorse89, I truly hope that he changes soon. Are any of the fish in the tank with him competing with him for food by chance? I know you've spoke about what's in with him, but I can't remember if anyone's asked about competition for food.
It's late here and I need to get to bed, but I will be hoping for the best for your Ratchet and that he goes back to being the puffer you knew before. Honestly I do know how you're feeling because my BeeBoo didn't eat for quite a while and I was really worried about it. And I can't remember if you said Ratchet would take snails or not. I know when BeeBoo would not eat any regular food, I was able to feed him snails and he would eat them until his belly was fat. Just a thought, although you've probably already tried that.
Good luck and I will say a prayer for Ratchet tonight. :missyou:

I wasn't just saying that either qtrhorse89, I DID actually pray for Ratchet and will continue to do so, and why not, animals deserve prayers just as much as people do! :thumb:
