Ohhhhh, that is perhaps part of the reason the F8s have ripped a fat chunk out of the GSP that was with them. Besides the fact that they're territorial and the tank was to small. I'm getting some snails in the morning. If the, god forbid, the GSP dies, do you reckon I can chuck the body in for the f8s to eat?

Snails are an excellent diet. Will wear their teeth down too. NOm nom nom.
Cannibalism however is not. :( Poor little thing. I wouldn't recommend doing that because leaving the body in there to decompose will make your ammonia levels skyrocket past what they already are.

Any chance you could take the GSP back? They'll keep ripping chunks out of each other either way, especially once the GSP outgrows the F8s (which, he definitely will). Glad to hear in the other thread you're getting a larger tank.

Getting off way off topic though. Does anyone know of any fruits or veggies that are NOT safe for puffs?

He's half dead so I doubt it but I'll give them a call. It's an abysmal store though so even if they do take him back I don't reckon it'll do him much good.

Didn't you say there was a better shop around?
