What do you feed your fahaka

This is my second Fahaka. The first one would eat almost anything but really was not that keen on prawn but a muscle it was gone in a flash.

Looking or a puffer to go in with some monsters

Re: Fahaka will not eat

100 gallon tank. He is starting to eat a little prawn but not much. He seems to hate muscle?

I will try an earthworm later on.

Fahaka will not eat

My new fahaka arrived 3 days ago, he immediately munched on a prawn but second day was not interested. so he had nothing that day, then i tried a muscle and there was no reaction. the water parameters are the same so why is he on a hunger strike?

Re: Foul Dwarf Puffer Tank

Hi, I've had my 4 Dwarf Puffers in a tank in our tv room, for about 2 months now. The tank had previously had Rasboras and a African Clawed Frog in it, but I moved them out when I decided I wanted to start keeping Puffers (it all started with those little Dwarf ones). I'd never had any problems wit...

Mind you, just enquiring from other owners is there a good food apart from...
