Yeah I would be careful. Just watch to make sure they don't get too close. They should know to stay away but some fish don't seem to understand. That little one you have though, I don't think actually ate any fish. Its the bigger one that has. Just be careful if it gets much bigger. I was feeding them silversides and they grow fast, so you may not want to feed it too often.

He was a beautiful fish. Sorry for your loss man that really sucks.

Very sorry to hear.

I am so very sorry for your loss GSP... Please don't walk away from the hobby. You have too much to contribute, and a wonderful home for whatever fish is blessed to get you as an owner.

I feel so badly for you, I wish there was something I could say or do...

So he didn't make it. I just don't think he could overcome all the stings. He was completely swollen last night and dead when I woke up early this morning.

There have been a few times recently I had considered tearing my tank down because of one problem or another but each time he was the reason I didn't. Giving him up was never an option, so this really sucks.

I am so mad at myself because after the nem ate my small fish I was going to sell it but for some reason kept it. I figured it would not be able to catch any of the big fish I had left including the puffer. The problem I guess was that he sleeps in the sand and is not a very strong swimmer...

He he is as a little guy a few years back...
