oh that's ok then...

when she started taking about cops and stations and stuff... i thought she had some scary outbreak of something that if left untreated would wipe out the USA's entire fish population!!!!

maybe a little dramatic of me.

Sorry about your fish PP, hope they'll get looked after and that you'll get them back soon.

Good luck fishies!

My friend got a dog for Xmas and it had some disease and died in less than a week. I forgot what it is called, but they can't get a new one for a year because of it. You are lucky it's only 6-8 weeks.

Parvo.

When my mom used to breed bulldogs, one later caught parvo. It ended up costing us like $5000 at the PEt emergency hospital, one puppy(who had spinal bifider (totally spelt that wrong he couldn't control his bladder if that helps) had to be put down, we kept the female, and we ended up giving the other little boy away. And we had to bleach like everything in the house and on the side yard.

PP: So sorry about Devlin! At least you did the best you could for him.

Awwww! I know it is was hard to part with the cute little baby puffer, but....it is all in it's best interest.

You must be heartbroken PP. Sorry to hear that

Wow, glad it was puffers & not puppies!

Devlin is really a beauty. I wish I could have him . What's the minimun tank size for a striped burrfish? Just so I can dream about having one some day? I really wish for one! But I have to turn one of my bigger tanks marine before I can have that, and that will be a while until I can afford. I will have to some day. My GSP is growing - slowly, but still growing.

Devlin is such the cutie. Sometimes I see porcupine puffers at my lfs and I get so sad because I can't have one. I also get sad because they look terrible... Someday I will be able to have one though... my boyfriend friend wants a dogface, he doesn't like the porcies but thats cause he dumb, hehe.

Yes it can pass to humans and make them very sick. Thank goodness we cannot contract ich.

I know right! Haha yeah Parvo is one experience I hope I never have to deal with again.

Devlin was a cute burr.

Still is I can't wait!
