The Puffer Forum

my GSP never paces when im in the room, his tank is right next to the computer he sits and stares at me for hours while i do my homework LOL. He even proof reads my papers sometimes!

My GSP is named Puffin Mcpuffster puffdaddy puffntuff puffdizzy fohcheezy puffeezy.

I call him puffin unless he makes me mad then I have to say his full name just like my mom did when she was angry lol.

LoL, well my GSP east just about anything i put in his tank. Pretty neat, He gets a more balanced diet then i do now!!! today i found out he loves spirulina flakes. So now hes getting some veggi matter in his diet. And i do not have to load the shrimp now when i feed them to him. He also loves peas....

Hey i have a GSP about 1 1/2 2inchs. I feed him snails daily, frozen blood worms, freeze dried krill, and the occasional live ghost shrimp.
