I don't like my puffer anymore.

Well, first off we tried to feed the puffer some snails and hermit crabs and he didn't want anything to do with him, so we just figured he wasn't very aggressive.

So, we started getting some cyano algae on the sand and we decided we need something to sift through the sand to get rid of it.

We go into Fewell's and decide that sense the puffer dosen't really bother anything we will get a Diamond Goby to sift through the sand.

Then, Matt DROPS my fish on the floor!! No big deal though, he picked him up and he was fine.

Finally, we get him home and acclimated. So, it's time to put him in the tank!! Pat scoops him out and puts him in the tank. The Goby goes nuts and flops all around, but finally realizes where he is. The puffer sees him and starts chasing him!!

But, the goby got away and went down to the sand. Here comes the puffer...swims down and nips his tail!! So I say to Pat "He just nipped him get the puffer out". But, right before our eyes the puffer just slurps him up!!!! It was soo sad. The cow fish also joined in on the eating of my goby!!

So, now I hate the puffer. Just thought I was share my sad story with everyone!

Yeah, I thought it was funny too, but she wasn't to happy about it. The goby was a perfect fit in the puffers mouth. It's weird becuase he has never gone after the clown and the gramma.. I guess we know he hates gobies. It was a good kind of expensive dinner for the puffer and he was nice enough to share it with the box fish. And Matt didn't drop him, the fish jumped out of the net, this goby was going crazy it was like bringing in a bass on 2lb test.
