The Puffer Forum

Thanks dragonvet, I'll do an update every once in a while. Any ideas on how often to feed these guys when they are this small and how often they should get snails to keep their beaks in check?

The closes I could visibly match was the Fangs Puffer. :? Can you guys confirm this or suggest what he might be? Thank You. :D
