Mine is far from placid, when i first got him i added 8 plattys to his tank (i didnt know any better) i went to the toilet and came back in to half a platty left and the others gone! he lives alone now and always will!!!!!!!

just saw this now.. uhm my buddy is at about 3 inches long. happy and healthy! i miss my buddy so much.. thankfully my bro is taking good care of him..
i couldnt forget when my buddy didnt see me for about a month and was so happy that it went out of his cave and greeted me with the biggest smile..
usually he chills out inside his cave but this was a real treat for me :)

when i went on vacation or wasnt home for a few days, my puff always seemed excited to see me lol. my roommates would say he would act differently if i wasnt around. they surely are strange fish!

Thanks! My buddy was mixed with fangs puffer, and this little guy wasnt with the group, chilling on its own side, so I said, I want that one coz my buddy is different, and we have been happy together :)
