But puffers cost a lot of money and are hard to keep up with, and in turn cost even more money. I think I'm done with fish for now.

No I mean, what do I do with the eel that is left in my tank where my puffer was? I don't want him anymore. I don't want the tank at all anymore.

My puffer fish ate one of my damsels Monday morning, and he was dead when I came home today. I'm so depressed. I want to tear down my tanks now officially. But I have an eel. What do you do with unwanted fish?

Thanks ShrimpDady. I think I'll have to go with what the majority says. Hmm.

I will.

I think as human beings we forget about the luxury of not having to spend every day of our lives trying to fight off predators and stay alive. I'm sure fish enjoy that luxury also.

No it doesn't. No matter what you're tank is TINY compared to the OCEAN. So if you really feel that strongly about having appropriate tank sizes you probably shouldn't rob them of the ocean in the first place. Seeing as your "huge" tank is so nice compared to...

So much tension. I agree with everyone else. Fish were not made to be in glass boxes in the first place. Maybe we should all just throw our fish back in the ocean. God forbid they might not have enough room. Better off being eaten I guess..

My favorite store is called CoralsNReefs. They have the best prices on fish I've seen in town so far. My puffer is about 3 inches long and was $36, every other store I went to had tiny 1"-2" puffers for $45. Their tanks look very clean, the staff knows what they're doing, at least most of them...

Well..uhhhmmm...okay. I'm from Tulsa.

I'll make sure to go to a saltwater specialty store and find a pair that already have picked an anemone. Sea shells and sea dollars won't be alive. I'd be too afraid that I'd kill it on the trip back to Oklahoma. Definately just going to be random sea shells we find on the beach and maybe if I'm...

Thanks for the advice! I'm going to the beach in a few days. Nothing special, just Texas. Does anyone know if there is danger in bringing some sea shells or sand dollars home to put in my tank?

That's really pretty! I need to research a lot more on clown fish before I make the decision. All I know is that they should be kept in pairs, and that there is a certain kind of anemone they like. I am also quite terrified of live rock. It's very expensive, and with my luck, I would destroy it...

Personally, I find the "police" to be extremely rude. They make the most extreme statements about tank sizes, and I know that they do it out of being cautious, but in many cases I've seen a lot of these things proved wrong. A porcupine puffer can thrive in a 29 gallon tank. A pair of clown fish...

Thanks everyone! Well almost everyone! I was thinking about using it for a pair of clowns. That would be adorable. And some snails or a shrimp or something would be cool to have, seeing as I can't keep anything of the sort in my 29 gallon. The 10 gallon is being used as a hospital tank at the...

I have an empty ten gallon tank collecting dust. Anyone have ideas for it? Something simple though, I'm not interested in a small reef set up. I like fish-only.

NEVERMIND! He broke out with ICH! Does anyone know how to treat a puffer's ich? I know that it's more complicated for them. Please help..

I'm not sure if I'm over-reacting, but....I went to my boyfriends house for a few hours and when I came back my little sister said she had fed my pufferfish and my eel. She said she fed them what they usually eat, frozen shrimp (thawed out of course) without the shell. Each got half. Now my...

I would just like to say to Drewsta that your eel is really cool looking (you replied to one of my posts) and I got one for myself named Rasputin. Thank you for being nice and supportive too! A lot of these people on here are very....blunt...and almost rude. You were the only person who didn't...

Me too. They just cost so much money. I didn't expect this tank to cost so much and its only a 29 gallon. I don't have live rock or live sand or anything. Just plain sand and some fake rocks/plants and my awesome puffer and eel.
