my2rotties pm me after to explain, and i wrote to her back explaining my thoughts on why people should mind there own business. but talked to her in a more nicer way i guess.

Yes I do come out very direct to people, i guess that is my flaw. but I dont liked to be challanged and i know that is not what she meant , I feel for her I know what it is like to give away or get rid of something that you love alot or like very much.

Ask DOug on here im very outspoken he shakes his head some times,
ay ways its taken care of I hope she finds him a great home, for the record I couldnt find anything about Griff I think that i know he came from a LFS right

I'm a big girl and can handle to heat... This is just a very hard choice to make, and it is due to the welfare of the other dozen fish that reside in the tank with Gryphon. Everything has always been for him, but now he is affecting the other fishes health and I have to do this. I have done my very best for Griff and wish I could set up a tank just for him alone. I just cannot afford this at this point in time.

I will try one more time for him but doubt things will change. It's not his fault he was caught at a mature age and it's not his fault he eats my clean up crew and anything beneficial to the well being of my other fish. This was brutally hard for me to even post that he is available and it did it with teary eyes. I am not a horrible person.

Of course you're not a horrible person! There is a time that comes, were even if you don't like it, you have to look at the big picture and make some decisions as to what is best for everyone. People were just surprised and curious.

Yeah I don't think anyone thinks your horrible at all!

I think most thought you were kind of building a puffer tank around this guy since he was one of the first additions. I get the feeling you have ended up with a reef and realized he just won't fit in. Too bad but that just how things go sometimes. People change their mind all the time about their tanks...I know I have many times.

Sorry Mike she's right, two of the same puffers in the same tank will fight to the death. BTW it's a 230g not a 280g. Also one puffer is more then enough for us

I was not posting because I thought you were a horrible person, from what I've seen from your posts on here you are a great caring person, and anyone looking for a nice puffer would be lucky to have a chance to get one from you (cause we all know how good you take care of your fish, hell if I had the tank for a puffer I wouldn't even think twice) We have all had fish that we really loved (I had a few fish I really loved when I was doing a fowlr tank that I said I would never let go), yet in the end I ended up giving them up because my plans changed and as you can tell by my sig. I have now become a coral addict.
