I have a small 10 gollon tank. I bought a spotted puffer from wall mart,had him for a while and was doing good but then i put a algae eater in with him andnow my puffer only has one eye.did the alae eater suck his eye out? and if he did why?should i get rid of him? and can the puffer survive with just the one eye.
ps.the blue scuba guy that makes bubbles seems to make the fish mad.should i remove him from the tank

Green spotted puffer needs at least 30 gallons, and yes a pleco can and will suck the eye's out of another fish. Can the puffer live.......yes it can, keep the water extremely clean and watch for any signs of infection. Then get rid of the pleco and get the GSP a larger tank.
Check out the library, there are great articles in there all about puffers.

If you're talking about a Chinese Algae Eater, various people on this site and other sites have said that they will suck eyeballs out of other fish.
Here's a link...
