The Puffer Forum

I pre soak them for a min or 2 on a spoon or waterbottle cap so they get all soggy then I just poke at the worm until it stays on the skewer one at a time. Don't try to get more then one worm on... Trust me it dosn't work... then I just stick it in the tank. Some times the worm will come off in the ...

Looks like everyone in my tank is doing good now. I just have to remember to pre soak everything ling enough. It just freaks me out to see them floating around the top of the tank with air bubbles in their little tummies. That and the other puffer gets mad when she see's her friend floating at the t...

Ok so I tried just dropping the food in the tank and both my puffers are PIGS so they ate it up before it had time to soak and release all the bubbles inside. So in return I get a very un comfy puffer with a air bubble... I just can't win at this can I?

The bamboo ones that people would generally use for the barbque. Makes for easy cleanup being disposable and all.

Ok so I got a 2nd puffer for a tank a few days ago and I haven't gotten it to eat yet. No biggie... My first one didn't eat for a few days either. So today my new puffer was looking really thin so I went ahead and put enough blood worms in the tank to feed both my DP. Well my older puffer went crazy...

But in my case I think that is just the actual color of my DP. I don't know... She has a very curious personality very outg...

Hello. So about a month ago I went out and bought my first Dwarf Puffer. She has a great personality and seems really friendly. I have a 10gal tank in my room. The only problem I have with my tank is PH its a little high so I've been doing 10% water changes and now I'm trying adding aquarium salt to...

When I first got my dwarf puffer it wouldn't eat also. I tried blood worms and brine shrimp, but my puffer would have nothing to do with them... That is until I discovered the skewer...I just poked one of the little blood worms on there wiggled it in front of my puffer's face and she's been eating s...
