So, what about keeping Congo Puffer with Tylomelania snails? Or Apple snail?

.........nice!
real thin, needs some fattening up:
frozen/defrosted clams, shrimp, mussels, scallops, squid, bloodworms
live earthworms, occasional live crickets, small crayfish, blackworms
occasional live fish [home grown only - no store feeders (unless quarantined)]
no cooked food of any kind

I am a little bit worried..... The Miurus is really thin...... One day he eats one (frozen/defrosted) Shrimp like crazy....and next day it doesn´t even look at it....
He likes to eat live endlers....

He's quite emaciated, poor thing... Treat for IPs. Best bet would be to inject earthworms with the meds.

LOL, I think he was surprised it was wriggling inside of him! How deep is your sand bed? Deep enough for him to thoroughly burrow? He's a pretty dark brick color. I bet if you used darker sand & added some red gravel to it, he'd get much brighter.

I thought the sand Was deep enough for him to burrow but now I am not sure......maybe not....

I Was thinking about changing the sand...... Which is the best colour to get him RED? Black or red sand?
Which is your recommendation?
