    lol o wasn't expecting that from puff..

    Idk I think I wouldn't be able to watch a fish "drown" out of water. Maybe you can since you are mad enough at him.. :s

    if I were you I would order another flasher wrasse.. Maybe a pair? I think they look amazing. Such a shame what happened to flash.

    Puffer each fish has its own personality and some that you've heard were the greatest fish ever aren't quite always what there supposed to be. My midas blenny is a punk, he chases and nips at my clowns and my sixline frequently. Ive often wanted to take him out and thump him on the head repeatedly lol.

    lol yea right now since im so mad i would be able to but later when i am able to catch him, probably wouldnt so he'll probably just end up being flushed

    oh i know, he became the biggest baby :lol: the psedo would nip at his fins and he would cower in a corner

    that would be cool too, and flashers are really small too, ill have to think about it, but i think its between a midas blenny or another wrasse

    wow a midas being aggressive, lol i thought they were peaceful, but then again so was the chromis.

    do you think if a blenny were to be added last that they would be ok i really dont want another aggressive fish, i hate the fighting

    after you murder 5 of your fellow fish just for fun, you should be considered a serial killer.
    I say death penalty!

    Yours if you choose to get one may be the greatest fish you've ever had, they just differ each. Mine is very territorial and he has a cave he sleeps and stays in, its his cave and no one can get near it...except the sailfin which I would love to see that fight lol. He will come out chase, nip, throw snails all kinda other antics if you get near that hole. Ive learn t to love him for what he is and that's a little turd lol.

    yup he is when i first got my chromis i bought 5 but i really wanted 3 but knowing the die off i got two more, well within the first 24hrs he killed 3 on the second day he killed the 2nd to last chromis, he contiunally beat the hell out of flash, now he got what he wanted and made flash commit suicide

    lol i hope i would be able to find one at a lfs instead of ordering one that way i can see what their personality is.
    i've always loved the midas for their bright yellow color, but im still undecided
    lol at least your able to love him, thats all that counts :D
