So?? You want to keep him in a bad home, because you think it is ok since he was in a bad home before he got to you?

No problem--if you find a good fish store, they should take all your fish in trade for something more suitable for your tank. None of the fish you have in there now are good for that tank at all.
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

Yea! I'm really proud that you are going to do the right thing for these fish! We will keep helping you with the new fish you trade them for, so they'll live longer than before. Keep doing your water changes every day, to keep these guys alive long enough to make it to the store. Are you hunting around for a good shop to trade them to?

its a long shot, but maybe purplecandle will still be willing to buy the puffer from you, that way you have money to buy whatever fish your tank will hold

yea... not good for little fishies to drive that long ;)

While you are looking for a new home......

Water change tonight before bed. But I have some questions:

1) you said you work and are saving some $$. What are your work hours like, and what days do you work?
2) Do you have gravel or sand at the bottom of the tank?

After I get this info, I'll send you a schedule that you can print out or write down. We're not out of the woods yet... but it will get a little easier.
if you follow me, you avoid stepping in the crap that I just did...
