A friend of mine did a really dumb thing. He went and bought a puffer last night because "it's so cute". Well his tank is only a 20g, he has peaceful fish and a bunch of snails, hermit crabs, flame scallops and a fire shrimp that he just loves. He called me and told me about it this morning. After explaining to him that he couldn't leave any of his cleaners in there unless he wanted them to be food. I told him he should take it back to the store. He called and they said sales are final and the only way he can get his money back is if it died! So I bought it from him. I put him in my 30g maroon tank for now. I plan on getting a 7' predator tank within a year or so. I think he'll be alright in there until then.... WIll he? My question is he has a spot on his side, it doesn't look too bad yet. Is there any shrimp he won't eat and will allow to clean him? I haven't read too much about him yet and have never seen one like him in the store. It was labeled as a short nosed puffer but in looking around at some pics I think he's a striped dog face. Any info. anyone could pass along to me about caring for this guy would be greatly appriciated. I'll go see if I can get a good shot of the spot right now & post it in a few minutes.
That's why I agreed to take him. Now I just have to learn about him.
