If he sustained internal injuries, it wouldn't have helped anyways. I think she made the right decision. | |

| Pink, i'm so sorry about Elton 
I'm sure you're a great puffer mommy and that he loved you very much. You did the right thing, so don't beat yourself up about it.
RIP Elton | |

It explains the mechanisms behind puffing. Basically, it's a difficult process that can end up with crushed organs and lots of other problems. | |

| Thank you so much, my friends.  I will miss him very much. I was so excited when I found a SAP, and now he's gone  Quote:

But I never put clove oil or Finquel in the main tank, I always remove the fish without exposing it to air into a small container seperate from the tank and then administer the anesthetic. | |

| I'm sorry, Pink.
This sounds like Capt. Clack, jumped the tank while I was cleaning, puffed...and it wasn't long after...
They drop in health so fast, there's nothing better you could have done. I'm sure you gave him a wonderful home for the time you did have together. | |

| Thank you everyone
Jgon, I remember Captain Clack. I was really touched by him. What a sweet puffy. I hope your new Captain is doing well still (I can never remember his crazy name  ) | |
