The Puffer Forum

It's a mixture of trumpet and pond snails. And they're not tiny, most of them are medium sized

I have a 40 gallon established tank with a few guppies and a TON of snails. I want to get a group of pea puffers and I know they are big eaters. Will they just eat snails until they burst? Should I try to take some out?

Ah this is perfect thank you!

I'll be driving about 6 hours, plus loading and unloading etc. so like 7? I have three and they're well fed, healthy, and getting to know me. I've had them about 3 months.

I'm moving to college in August and I want to take them with me. What's the best way to transport them?

Lol you were right
About 50% every week and then a gallon or two whenever I think it's necessary. The water change I did was just to bring down the level a bit (and get leftover blood worms out) so I could catch the puffer more easily.

Ok, well the puffer wasn't looking good, with a dark belly and fast breathing, so I did a water change and scooped it up to see if maybe I could pull out the worm, but while it was in the cup the worm came loose. I'll keep an eye on it just in case.

I just fed my puffers their bloodworms, went about my business, and then came back to see if they'd finished. One of them seems to have a bloodworm husk stuck in its mouth, but I'm not sure. I got some pics, but I don't know how to attach them.

Ok that's kinda what I thought, thanks.

Excellent thank you!

So it's kind of ridiculous, but my mom asked if they could eat hard-boiled egg yolk, and I thought I'd ask just to see?

Hi there! I have 3 juvenile dwarf puffers in a 20 gallon. I feed them baby MTS, bloodworms, mysis shrimp, and baby brine shrimp. I was wondering if I could feed them earthworms from my garden as well (we don't use any pesticides or chemicals at all)? I was also curious about grocery store food, like...

Darn, ok, so can I put one in a 5 gallon? I've already got a crop of snails and brine shrimp ready, all I need is a cute little puffer to eat them.

I want a dwarf puffer for my ten gallon tank, but I already have 5 harlequin rasboras established in the tank. Are they compatible?
