your quotes, this is why I am a bit defensive ok...

"F8's and GSP's are incompatible,It doesn't matter that they get along, This is a puffercare site, care for them properly, they are not compatible".

OK, and all I was asking is can I put them in a tank with Coral.....think about it...........

I am thinking about it, but you don't seem to be. That's not much different than saying "I keep my German Shepard in my Chihuahua's old cage. Does he need water during the day?" and expecting us not to say that you're keeping him in an inappropriate environment.

Expecting us not to say something when we see that you aren't keeping them properly is not being very realistic - especially for a puffer enthusiast site. We'll answer your question but we'll also let you know that what you are doing is detrimental to their health and well being.

Yes, you did state that ... AFTER you were questioned about it. Not before, which was why you were questioned about it.

Please see my previous post regarding inquisitions in case you missed it.

This isn't a one way street. You can ask questions of us, but we can also ask questions of you. This isn't the Answertron 2000, you can't just ask a question and expect a simple reply. Discussion forums don't generally work that way. You're dealign with real people who have real concerns about various things.

Keeping your cool and being polite (for everyone involved) will lead to better results than getting defensive or accusational. (is that a word?)

So lets keep this civil and return to the issues at hand. Otherwise I'll have this thread locked and we'll start from scratch like adults.

I don't think saying that they are incompatible was nasty of me, as they are incompatible. I didn't say you were a jerk for having them together, I was just sharing information.

As far as I see, you are the only one being nasty. I simply asked a question and was wondering about what you wrote. No harm in that. No one attacked you in the slightest; certainly not I. Lets all just cheer up a bit guys! :D

OK, so the answer in short is yes, your puffers will be fine with the dried corals in there.

He now realizes his mistake of harvesting live corals form the ocean & says it won't be happening again. His puffers are juvies & now he realizes that they need to be seperated as they mature (soon). Thread is locked.
