Re: Help!my congo is dying!

Only the raw market shrimp is not alive and well frozen and never fresh food. I believe that you could get bad food with its fresh...

Re: Help!my congo is dying!
I had her for 2 months.. She only had one owner before me and he's a very knowledgable guy. So I am sure that he wont feed her anything that she shouldnt be fed. I doubted it's the tap water either.. As the last time I changed water ( before this morning 20% change) was last Saturday... everything w...

Re: How long can you starve a congo puffer?
Thanks for all the replies! I gave up! I guess she just doesn't like worms! I tried wiggling the worm right in front of her face for at least 10 mins.. I tried hanging the worm and it just annoyed her so much that she would bit the worm off the hook but not eating it.. I also tried soaking it in gar...

How long can you starve a congo puffer?
I am trying to get my congo puffer to take red wiggler worms... I have starved her for 7 days now.. she still resist... :( She is really hungry cause she's begging for food everyday.. but she just won't take the worm.. Should I just give up? How many more days should I try? Will I starve her to death?
