Spot was our green spotted puffer fish we bought back in February. He was purchased at Wal-Mart with four additional tropical fish. Out of all the fish I've ever owned, Spot was definitely my favorite. I know it's weird to say he had personality... I mean he was just a fish, but he really did. He would act bored at times, slowly swimming up and down the tank, and very hyper at other times, happily zipping around. Spot was a very aggressive fish, and enjoyed eating the tails and fins of his tank mates. He ended up killing three of his four buddies. 
Last week, his last tank mate, Thor, passed away from what I'm guessing was an illness. After Thor's death, Spot wasn't the same. He stopped eating and would hang out in a corner at the bottom of his aquarium. This morning, Michael woke up and found him dead. Poor fish. He'll be missed.
Did you ever feed your puffer any snails? I heard they need snails to keep their teeth filed down and if their teeth grow too much, hey won't be able to eat.
