The Puffer Forum

Thanks everyone! I know they will probably not get along later but it's nice to hope. lol
At least pictures last
Here is the DFP trying to get the shrimp to clean him today but the shrimp wasn't interested. Either that or he is hoping by opening his mouth the shrimp will jump right in.

Thanks Welch and Hadla! Just so everyone knows I am trying trying to have an invert massacre in my tank. :) It was originally going to be a reef tank so I wasn't going to get a puffer even though I always wanted one.

Well, I will definitely chalk it up to owner negligence. When I got him the only thing he would eat is krill. I didn't know it was bad for them.
