As far as feeding, I feed him silversides and sometimes squid. He is a pain in the ass. I have to feed him too. He would bite it sometimes and lets it go. It then falls to the bottom and my other fishes get it.
I usually feed him like every 3 days and make him come up for it.
Seems odd to me you mention your Puffer getting nipped at and then make a comment that you only have Groupers and Triggers in your tank, then you come back now and say you have a Puffer, Lion, and Tang again. Personally, I think your lying. Also, you failed to mention both the Queen and Niger, so while maybe only one of these died to aggression the other could've easily died from stress related to aggression.

The quote was referring to the eel nipping at the puffer. Puffer got nipped once at by a big Undulated that I had. Gave him back and got a smaller one. I was being vague saying I have groupers and triggers. Queen was the one that died due to aggression. I dropped in some clams from the store and apparently they were fighting over the last one. Niger was bigger than the rest so I put him in another tank. Argus grouper got parasites all over his body, had to take him out. Didn't want it to spread. Got the Lionfish later on. So personally I don't care if you think I am lying. I have no reason to lie. It's not like I'm trying to convince everyone to go my route. I just want fish I like. So keep nip picking every post I posted if it makes u feel better.

You do whatever you want DK. Any fish that die in your tank is a drop in the bucket compared to those dieing in worse conditions during shipment every day. I was only pointing out to people that don't know any better that they can expect aggression and very likely death with this combination of fish. You wanted a 'warzone' and you got it. I will say at least you have enough decency to keep the larger fish away from the smaller. I just don't want someone new perusing these boards starting probably their first saltwater tank reading this expecting they can put these fish together and not realize a warzone is what they're going to end up with. My only issue is when you make statements like your Clown and Puffer are fine together it gives people the wrong impression about these fish(like CT's) that have very violent tendencies and can and very likely will eventually tear a larger puffer apart.
