A sad day – we lost our Puffer Boxfish!

We recently lost our sweet Puffer Boxfish who was doing well. We don’t know why he died but suspect it could have something to do with the work we have been doing in our home with painting and sanding. Maybe some of this somehow got into the tank and Puffer ingested it since he swims at the top of the tank. All the other fish did not have any problems.

The anemone did have a little upset but it appears to be getting better with the help of his buddy, the Maroon Clown Fish who has been swimming in and out of it trying to revive it. It is sweet to see in action. I took this video so you could see Clown in action. When he thought it was dying he did all he could to help it and really looked like he was upset.

The other fish were not allowed to go near the anemone because of Clown who keep watch over it and protected it until he could be revived enough to seat itself safely again. It was an amazing thing to witness. We were worried that Clown might die from loneliness and if the anemone died. Thank goodness it did not.

Even though these are only fish, they are our pets and when we lose one we feel the loss maybe not as much as losing a cat or dog or other animal but it still hurts.

Thank you so much for stopping by to read this post. We feel sad to have lost Puffer but are relieved that the anemone and Clown are doing okay.

Blessings & Hugs! Stay Safe, Stay Well and God Bless!
