Aha, small fellas!

If I were you, I'd see if you can keep the fish you have alive for a couple of years, before you try your hand at more puffers. You could even make some $$$ selling off guppy babies. :)

My LFS is very stingy he didn't want any of my guppies.. I even offered to set up and maintain my own tank there and we'd split the $ 50-50. He still said no :(

That's what I get for living in a forest...

I think "golden loach" is just another name for "weather loach" or "dojo loach" and they grow 8-10" and need cooler water temps.

It's really hard to tell diagnose fin problems without a close up picture.
No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.
