Re: [GSAS-Member] Snails!

["Monica H" <ninita@hotmail.com>]

Linda, the puffers I had in my tank were very aggressive and would bother 
anything and everything.  I am not sure if that's how they are supposed to 
be.  I tried putting a pleco in with them and they went after him, so I 
removed him.  They went after corys, shrimp, everything!  I am not sure if 
they are all like that, or if I had mean ones.

I am sorry the angels keep eating the eggs.  :(
