ticked at puffer

[dakoop]

Lost a few new fish, I chalked it up to bad luck or me screwing something up. Tonight I acclimated some new fish, turned the lights off and added them to the display. Heard a ruckus from the tank and found my puffer munching on my new clown. Looks like it's time to re-home the family puffer.

Sorry to hear that. What kind of puffer? Just curious I’ve had a porcupine and a Toby that never bothered anyone.

How big is the porcupine puffer? How big is the tank? As a general rule if it fits in it’s mouth it’s a tasty snack but puffers don’t usually/naturally eat fish.

Ive got a stars and stripes that likes to eat fish lol. I feed him shrimp, clams and a few silversides when I add a new fish so he doesnt mess with it. Ate my molly yesterday that I put in for one of my lionfish lol. Aggressive little s***! Maybe look for adult clowns so they are bigger and dont look like food???

 

[dakoop]

These were adult clowns! I am losing the battle between nutrients in tank and fish are food

 

[dakoop]

Now the kids say I can't get rid of him

 

[Thetankdoctor]

Sounds like it's tank #2...

Puffer in a nano. I am sure the tang police(are there puffer police) will not approve.

Clowns in the nano
