    Sudden puffer fish death

    This is one of the major ones I see. I searched for other locations of City Zoo but I guess it's local. I'd recommend checking out the website from the ss if you're really interested :)

    Sudden puffer fish death

    Petco has them sometimes. But I wouldn't recomend buying from them. They're usually really over priced. We have the tropical fosh store, and then a City Zoo. I get most of mine at City zoo. There's also an online website that sells them for about 5 $ and have arrive live guarentee

    An expert who got his information from googling. I'm not being prideful. I truly don't belive it was something I did. And to insinuate I did isn't appreciated.

    The longest puffer I've had is 2 years. The rest were acquired within the last year. And they've been doing fine. Happy and eating. If it was something wrong with the tank I'm sure more than just the ceylon puffers would have been affected. When I chanhe water I do 10% because that's what I was...
