If it died on the way home and another died shortly there after, I'd suggest tossing the corpses and keeping the other in quarantine for about month. Ghost or Glass shrimp aren't really nutritious, make sure to gut load them (feed them vitamin rich foods before making feed of them) The...

Their temperment seems to change with their age (teenagers...), since they live a long time it doesn't change overnight. I've heard of them getting along with tank mates for up to a year completely happy then nearly killing off their whole community in a night.

You could try to partisan part of a tank using a large fishnet, but that'll only buy you time, either you need more tank space, less breeding, or a fish that feeds on swordtails.

Green spotted puffers don't get real vicious till puberty kicks in at around two inches, about the time they need brackish water. The one I got from Wal-Mart took two weeks to realize snails were food...and two days to eliminate them all.

I've got a 40 gallon but with rocks, gravel and sand, it has only 36 gallons of water (I measured as I added). From what I've read, you'll need at least 30 to keep a gsp, so you have some room, use it well.

Just read your thread, and I gotta say, you should see this. ‪Green spotted puffer eating fiddler crab‬‏ - YouTube

I've read up on them a 25 is supposedly the minimum, but a 30 gallon is recommended...for one. Without scales they're sensitive to amonia and nitrates, and as strict carnivores, they're champion poopers.

If they can eat frozen seafood they can eat frozen ramshorn snails, just feed him in moderation and keep the rest in the fridge (unless you wanna breed them to save money, that's my plan but I'm looking to partisan a corner of my existing 40 gallon for ghost shrimp).

My sister in law names her fish (which is getting out of hand their platies are breeding faster than rabbits) and I named my green spotted puffer "Rancor" because it's sometimes fun to drop critters into his pit and watch him devour them.

I tend to fish the rivers near home in the interior of Alaska. Rods don't make much difference, lures matter. I find the best spots for getting fish are the worst for casting, and often an ice fishing rod (or a line with no rod) can get you into an eddy full of greyling. They like shade, bugs...

I got a tetraodon nigroviridis about a month ago thinking it was a brackish water fish (also thinking aquarium salt made brackish water:facepalm:) since then I've been learning TONS, but I'm still having some trouble. I thought about flushing it and opting for something easier but it's too darn...
