Oh dear, what should I do

http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218...&lpid=&cat=371
Look at them. 2 little GSPs stuck in a 10g. It's probably freshwater too. Thing is, I don't know if I'd be able to take care of them properly. I have a fishless (but still running) 80g at about 1.020SG... but it's not at my apartment, it's back at my parent's house. Stachi has moved into the apartment with us in a 30g. It'd take me about a week to acclimate those little puffs to SW, and I can't really be there every day to do that. But the question is, would they be better off with someone who doesn't know how to take care of them and will keep them in that 10g FW, or with my family given instruction from me to take care of them? I'm not sure on that. I didn't even know if I'd keep the 80g as a SW tank anymore, but if I get those puffs then it would be... Yeah, I just don't know. Maybe you guys can help me collect my thoughts and get my brain flowing.

EDIT: unless my eyes are decieving me, there appears to be 3 puffers in the full tank shot. They must have lost one already

Pink, that's a tough call. To be honest, I'd love to see them with you.

Maybe you could talk to Blake and talk to your family and see what all of your options are? What's possible, what's not possible...

That would give you a place to start and then you could see if you saving these puffers can be done.

I hope this helps Please keep us posted.

Personally, I'd pick up that tank and see if your LFS would take the puffs. Doesn't seem like you'd have the time to maintain the 80 as a salty and maybe one puff would be the best for your current living situation. Whatever you do, good luck!

Interesting idea. I'll have to see if they'll take the puffs. I know which one I'd like to give them to, because they keep them in brackish and sell them as such

It does seem like fate, but I would consult the family to make sure they are comfortable with it first or the lfs to see if they would take them and go from there. Good luck pink!
