My puffer is bored and so am I

Post by BedScien »

For practical reasons I am probably going to have to convert to freshwater soon (I'm thinking about a planted dwarf puffer tank)

For now though, my little GSP is just pacing and pacing and pacing.

Would it be a bad idea to get a bunch of live marine snails for him to hunt?

What I'd REALLY like to do is get some snails that could breed in the tank, that would be pretty cool.
mblahahahaha mmmyeessss

Im not sure how gsps would do with trocus (sp?) snails but I know people have had them breed in their tank unintentionally.
