Hello puffernet!
Just wanted to share this
story with you all. My friend keeps 3 big oscars in his 55 gallon.
They're about 7-8" or so. One day he decided to get a Congo puffer
and add it to the tank. I'll have to say that neither of us knew
very much about puffers, but the LFS said he'd be ok with the oscars, since
he'd sit on the bottom. Well, what the lfs didn't tell us is that
these puffers are mean mean mean! Upon adding Rambo (what else could
we name him) to the tank, the oscars started chasing him. We though
he was a goner for sure. Finally the oscars gave up and Rambo sat
on the bottom, like the lfs said. The next morning, one of the oscars
was missing! We thought maybe one of the other oscars ate it, but
then noticed that one of the oscars had these half-circle chunks missing
from its fins. Needless to say, after about 3 weeks, Rambo lives
by himself in a 55 gallon tank. We were pretty mad at first, but
had to say that was quite an impressive feat. Now we keep Rambo well
fed, and he lives with a pl*co named yuck. We figured that's what
he must taste like since Rambo hasn't eaten him yet!!! Thanks for
this site. Todd
