*has a heart attack and dies*

the bottom of my tank has thin slabs of slate on it that overlap. it makes it really nice for vacuuming up excess food and waste. it also makes for great places for snails to hide.

i got home about 20 minutes ago and the puffs were fine. swimming around being puffs. i went into my bedroom to unwind a bit before making dinner. then i remembered my bf took a bunch of pics of our pleco (in a different tank) and figured id go get the camera and unload the photos. i glanced at the puffer tank on my way past.

DOT WAS BENT ALMOST DOUBLE PRETTY MUCH ON THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK WITH A GRAY BELLY. she/he was sitting so still. im flipping out wondering what to do (the tank is going through a mini cycle, so ive been REALLY paranoid about the puffs behavior). and then a snail crawled out from under the plate dot was eyeballing. dot promptly crunched the snail. i guess dot was hunting. but i swear to god i need a fresh pair of underwear.

My fiance's puffer one time decided to act like it has swim bladder disorder and sent his blood pressure through the roof.
