It is a very sad thing to see my own puffer die like that and I hope this will teach people not to net their puffers out of the water. Use a container to remove it from the tank with the water as well.
woah woah woah

could i see it? >.>
im studying to become a marine biologist. i dunno if that will allow you to show me or not but just saying. i wanna see what it looked like.

My crabs are red crabs and they usually use plants to get to the top and make a jump for it, or cleverly hang on and stretch a leg out far enough to get up. I have also witnessed them climb right up the heater.

I've made sure none of the plants even reach the top, then in desperation I took packing tape and sealed the whole tank... poof. no crab.
