Oh my goodness. I just watched the video.
That poor fish! Hugely obese and obviously in poor water quality, look at all the skin damage, especially that big flap of loose skin in the last few seconds?
You gotta love the snail though.. "oh my god, a snail, its coming right for me, its going to get me, I'm trapped aaaahhh!!!! Oh yes, I got away from it.. swim swim swim.. hey what's that snail doing in my cave, I'm going to eat it! CHOMP"

If my landlord ever sees the 8 tanks I have I'm in trouble. I knowMyaj wrote:He just said "three tanks is okay, but no more than that". He knows about the 75, so he's obviously okay with the size.

You sure that wasn't a hermit crab? I think that was a hermit crab.
No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.

It was indeed a hermit, poor puffer though.

Re: Anyone Seen GSP to Full Adult Size?
Yeah Myaj, I thought that puffer looked in bad condition too. If you look, it's got scratches all down it's body, the poor thing. I enjoyed seeing a puffer that big, but I don't think it's quality of health is very good. I hate seeing things like that.
We visited an LFS recently that had so many F8's together, with no hiding places, no plants, nothing, and every single one had bite marks on their backs, and they were fighting while we were there even. That's sad! So we told management and she went and brought back one small sprig of plastic plants.
Do people not think that they little creatures feel pain and suffering?

^ You could always argue the sump isn't really a tank since no fish live in there

mine went from about 1" to 4" in about a year....but he is a complete pig when it comes to eating. I actually think he would explode if I put enough food in the tank.
