The Puffer Forum

Hi all - I am loving my 2 dwarf puffers - they are amazing to watch and so interesting in general. A while back I had posted about what to fed them, and I decided to mainly give them ramshorns snails (which I am breeding in a little tank) + frozen and sometimes live bloodworms which they also seem t...

Update on this: I put some Ramshorns in the tank for the puffers to eat. They eat them, but not as quickly as I thought they would.

They will not reproduce so fast and the dps will feast on...
