My puffer survived

[stdreb27]

So I was trying to set up a U tube overflow. And I had a rio 1700 to pump water through the tube. But it didn't fit over the side of my tank. so I just got mad and left the power head running in the tank and went to make a burger. When I got back my puffer was the size of a softball and sucked into the power head. So I unplugged it. And my puffer went into hiding for a while. Lucky for him his tail got sucked in and not his side. So a couple days later he came out and have a pretty good bruise ringing around his tail. I fed him his favorite oyster on a half shell (me and him have alot in common.) He pigged out and has been recovering ever since. His buising is all gone.
I'm so lucky.

I think you owe him a few more oyster dinners!

How about starting with a nice cocktail shrimp?
Then move to a king Louie crab salad?
Entree would be oysters rockefeller
Finish with a sweet tuna mousse!

I should have been a Puffer.

i have a longhorn cowfish and i have a uv and a hose hooked up to my ph. The tube fell off and the longhorn's face got sucked in. His whole mouth and part of his face was in it. I quick turned off the ph and my cow started to swim around and he got super black. His mouth was like bloody. The next day he was not eating so i got kind of worried. But the day after that he was fine and swiming around the tank. I got lucky for him or any of my other fish not dieing.

I dunno I'd watch out for the powerheads. Seriously I ate about half of the oysters I bought for my puffer. lucky dog gets oysters on a half shell every couple of day.
