Fish sizes range from 2 inches (maroon clown is smallest) to about 5 1/2 inches (porc puffer)
ray was fine w/ my porc, my porc stays at the top, ray was always at bottom, never a problem w/ stress, as the ray was constantly eating (daily)and acting normally, No signs of infection, no death curl, no nothing. Before I left, the ray came up to my hand and begged for food. When I came back, he was gone ><. I purchased the S+S puffer a few days after the ray passed because the tank felt empty. Puffers are usually a no no w/ ray, but it really depends on ur puffer and its personality, I had my puffer w/ some pieces of SPS and LPS from my old reef (which is the biggest no no you could do w/ puffers in general), and it didnt mess w/ them, Usually, thats what puffers use to grind their teeth. Mine doesnt associate anything w/ food except me.
Shark is a Bamboo, she is getting her pond soon ^^, parts area ll almost together, She is approximately 15 inches from head to tail. Shark jumped into the overflow because i found a few pieces of shrimp that somehow got stuck to the filter on the overflow, guess it smelled the shrimp, and thought it could get them. She was wrong, lol, When I found here, she was trying to get those peices of shrimp in her mouth, thats how I found her, she never did get those pieces.
She is completely fine as of today, her eating habits have sped back up, and now she is fine again. If you read the thread where I talked about my shark jumping, you would have read that the shark wasnt even phased by the incident. When she gets stressed, she stirs up substrate, thats her way of telling me something needs to be changed.
The S+S puffer is suffering from constipation problems lately, added more nori and seaweed to its diet, still having problems, its diet is pretty much shrimp/krill, aquadine, and silverside. I'm guessing that is what onset the ich, since it spends alot of time after eating either hiding by the overflow or sitting on the floor. it is doing fine, as it is still just as goofy as ever, personality didnt change, and it is fighting off the ich naturally. Im almost 100% sure it isnt the shark causing stress to the puffer, as the shark stays to itself, and the puffer steal food from teh shark constantly, and I spend half of the sharks feeding time fending off both puffers >.< I have also caught the shark and S+S puffer relaxing together at the bottom of my tank.
If anyone has any insight on constipation on puffers, that would greatly help.
