Aww she is so cute!!

PP...

did you get the rest of your fish back?

Is your marine tank full of fish again now... must be way over 6 weeks...



did you lose your marine puffers? The tobies? Or was that other puffers you sent?

None of the fish I sent to that guy for hypo are in my tank now. The burrfish went to you, the 2 yellow-tailed damselfish & the snowflake eel went to my LFS & the 2 tobies died in his care. In the meantime, I added a pair of Dragon pipefish & a small Valentini. The tank is still quite empty. Looking for a Bluespot toby.

We have a blue spot up at my lfs but it would be like a 6 hour drive for a 30 dollar fish. He is really cute and he changes colors and when he does he almost looks like a saddled puffer, kinda cool!

sorry to hear about your tobies... such a shame..

glad you got a valentini... such gorgeous fish... so personable.

*sigh* Sad update.
I just got home from work, and found BabyBurr Devlin passed on. She, as well as the rest of our salties, were in our 75gal for hypo cuz she kept getting cloudy eyes and persistent ich on her tail fin (the rest of the fish were in there so we could keep the tank fallow for 8 weeks). We put it off until we thought she was healthy enough to handle it as she was sooooooo skinny when we got her, but I guess something must have happened. We cycled that tank with a filter from our Ceylon tank (we dropped the hypo to the same s.g. as them so we could do that), we still got a bit of a mini cycle, but it was all but gone after a day and a partial water change. The rest of the fishes are OK, so we're not really sure what happened. I just told Spoot, he sounds really upset. *sigh*

So sorry, PP, we tried our best to take care of her.

Oh... I'm so sad... Sorry for our loss. She was a great fish.

I know you tried your best. It seems none of my puffers made it theu this treatment. I partially blame myself because I didn't have a QT large enough available to treat them myself. I believe her short life was happy.
