A lesson learned

I was doing my regular tank maintenance today...cleaning the rock off, stirring the gravel and cleaning all the screens on the powerheads and filter. Tank looks great, off we go to town.....yah oops. Forgot to put back the screen on the powerhead and SHIT....I look into the tank when we got home and thought..."why is the powerhead barely pushing out water...and what the hell is that ball in the tank stuck to it???" To my dismay, my favorite fish "Puffy" the pufferfish was sucked to it and puffed up. And very very dead. A very sad day as I really liked him. It is a lesson learned though...never ever walk away until you have checked that everything is as it was. SUCKS though, all the same.

We may have to get rid of "J.R." too. He is munching on .... fins. The tang "Tango" has a very chewed fin, "Raymon" always has a chewed tail, "Pinky" is a bit worse for wear, and "Perky" has a chewed tail. We all know its him...he is a crank. One of the grouchier Triggerfish that we have encountered that is for sure. Will wait to hear from Ken and Linny to decide what to do...I think he will be finding a new place to live...much to my dismay.....
