My puffer, Captain Clack, passed this morning after the very stressful event of jumping the tank and puffing with air. I came home that day and he was still bloated (but otherwise eating) I had to make him puff up again to get the remaining air out...and well, guess all the stress got to him.

I only had him for a brief period of time. When I got him, it was a pity buy, he had ICH and was in a cramped dirty tank with a few sick others. But I cleared him up of all his ailments and he happily buzzed around the tank. He even just started to recognize me as "FOOD!!!" and enjoyed following all my movements in the room.

I buried him within the salt marsh behind our research lab this morning, a burial fit for a Captain!

Aw, it's great that you saved him from that nasty tank and he lived a good life with you even though it was cut short.

RIP Captain Jack

Captain Clack, my puffers salute you
He had a wonderful home with you, and his memory will live on and remind all those who want to see a puffer puff that it is not a good thing to see.
And he even got his 15 minutes of fame, being featured in the FL magazine.
RIP Captain, may you swim free and nip the fins of all other slower fish up in fishy heaven.

Pink you're making me cry. Very touching.

Yeah, you gave him the best home he could wish for, I bet he is very glad for that...
He also has been an inspiration for my next tank... I now really want an F8! Maybe if i can get one i'll name him captain in CC's honor...
