He's impressed that I set up my fishtank properly because he hasn't seen it since it was a freshwater tank. He talked alot of "smack" about my Green Spotted Puffer the first couple times but now that it's a salt-water tank he thinks the fish is a great addition and has some great color. He was supposed to come help me build a sump (new filtration ) for the fish tank but he just came to take measurements. Turns out he might have a sump at home that would do the job...

We went to Deathco (petco) and picked up the fish. I'm glad he came with me because I would have bought a sick fish. I have decided that i'm not going to buy fish anymore from fish stores. He imports fish from fiji and from hawaii so I'm just going to ask him to order me fish on his next shipment.

He said that ich really isn't a big deal. I could do things like drop the salt concentration or raise the temperature and that would do a good enough job at killing them off.

Also - I noticed there was a problem with the stand and the tank. Sometimes the floor dips and the tank starts to shake a little. The tank and the stand are initially his and he said that he hadn't noticed the stand being a problem in the past. I think I am going to screw the stand in to the wall so that way there is less of a "wobble" effect when people walk buy.

I told him that people complain about the smell of the food i use for the puffers. He said that he uses regular shrimp from Stop and Shop. Also, he thinks the puffer is malnourished so he suggested I hand feed that fish twice a day until he fattens up...
