New 'hairy' monster in the house

Thanks @Deadeye, @deeda, will miss her a lot. She was a great wet pet.

Found an old pic of her in her younger days.

That's a big loss

Man, that’s not what I was expecting to hear today. I always enjoyed reading about him and to find out he died is saddening. I hope that whatever you do next brings you as much happiness as he did.

always sucks to lose a fish, especially one you've had so long. really sorry to hear she died.

Those abrupt mysterious deaths are really a miserable part of the aquarium hobby. My condolences.

But let's face it: there are human beings who appear outwardly to be perfectly healthy...and who then keel over dead in a supermarket or on the sidewalk as a result of a burst aneurysm or some other near-instantaneous internal glitch that could not be foretold. No reason to suspect that fish and other animals are immune to similar things. I think it's pretty clear that you did well by this puffer; just bad luck.

Oh no! Bummer. Sorry to hear. I too always looked forward to seeing pics and updates of the hairy puffer.

Oh no! This sucks, I'm sorry for your loss buddy I really am, 6 yrs is not a small amount of time to dedicate to one animals health.

 

[Rocksor]

Well that certainly sucks. Sorry for your loss.

 

[Hendre]

So sorry to hear! Sudden losses suck big time
If you are looking for another puffer then the Tetraodon schoutedini are lovely, albeit expensive. Could keep a few in a tank like that

Sorry about your loss @DMD123.
It sucks when a fish dies suddenly with no warning. Especially one you were so fond of. You did your best raising her, and that's what counts.
