quick questions

Post by Markalgar »

ok so I have had dwarf puffers for a short while now and did some research before tank size/feeding etc. What I am feeding them is a mixture of live/frozen bloodworm snails, daphnia, and brine. is there anything else I should be feeding? I have heard shrimp but that could be hit and miss depending on the puffer. is there anyone out there who has a set rota for food per day?. Also does anyone miss a day for feeding I do with my guppy/neon tetra tank.

My brats only eat live blackworms. Don't forget to soak foods in a good fish vitamin.

Mine, like Pufferpunk's were spoiled to live California blackworms. But they also had access to smallish Ramshorn snails all the time.
