don't worry he will at some time.

Can you get a picture of the tank and the ghost house for us? I have a feeling you may have to "fix" that house just a little bit.

Do you really think your parents will let you exchange your fish for some others??? That would be fantastic! My thoughts would be not to get another puffer. They really aren't the easiest fish to keep.

any recommendations on a trade for a 10 gallon tank?

I'm not buying that Their care is very similar. Only the food and water current is different really.

Trust me, with us behind you you can kick that chain of bad luck right out the door.

Don't forget about serpae tetras. They are fairly hardy and a pretty fish to look at.
