    My little porcupine puffer, Kirby, has developed a taste for algae wafers. We have a salarias blenny in the tank to help with algae, and we have been supplimenting his diet with the wafers. Recently Kirby has discovered them, and now eats every one we put in the tank. He'll even grab an algae wafer out of the bleny's mouth. This really surprizes me because he won't touch flake food. Any ideas about why in the world he likes these so much?

    Stariel,
    this post of yours really puzzle me.. coz pufferfish dun really take algae... well, anyway, each fish have it own characteristics... perhaps it is trying to become a vegetarian.. hahaha.. ok.. joke aside.. as long as it is eating.. it should be fine.. dun worry so much abt it..
    sorry for taking so long to reply...

    Well the blenny has now gone on to the other world.
    He was missing for a couple of days and presumed dead. Then he reappeared, but a few hours later was found dead with part of his head missing! []
    Foul play by Kirby is suspected but not confirmed, although he has never been aggressive towards the other fish before. Perhaps the blenny died and then was lunch. He was looking a little pale and acting strange lately.
    Motive: Love of algae wafers.
