Completely agree Grins. Had any of this information been available 12 years ago believe me, I wouldn't have gone the route I did. But I am happy I did go that route because it was fun and I did learn a few good things, along with a lot of bad things at the time.
The only fish I lost in the 6 years I did FOWLR was the cow box fish that is my Avatar. Again, those fish were plentiful at the time I got into FOWLR and sold all the time. Little did I know how incompatable they are in aquariums. It did live for just over 2 years in my tank, but I am sure that is far far less than their normal lifespan. Puffer on the other hand, lives to be 20 years old or so in an aquarium that I have read.. and for mine with all the "bad" things I did at the time to live over 11 years that I know of is pretty dang good if you ask me. That is what, like 55 years old in porcupine puffer years and he could still be alive today for all I know.
