The Puffer Forum

ok i have successfully feed my puffer with some prawn meat, but it doesn't really eat alot, just like 1/2 of the prawn.

maybe it is small eater, 3 inch congo.

thanks PolishPuff and Pufferpunk for the links

guess i must be more patient on training my puffer, its me vs congo puffer time

will definitely try frozen silverfish

dead food such as frozen bloodworm, prawn bought from supermarket or even pellet.

so far my congo puffer reject taking frozen bloodworm and prawn, it even reject a dead feeder fish when i try to feed it using a tweezer, the puffer just swallow and spit it out instantly.

feed clams with shell intact instead of snails?

currently i have a handful of Ramshorn snail but their size is bigger den my GSP eyes

i placed 1 snail to test my puffer and he just nip it once and ignore it

do they only eat snails that are smaller size or i need to crash the snails before feeding them?

will definitely upgrade my tank in future, as my wish list is to keep a mbu puffer in a 5-6ft tank

now starting my puffer keeping skill with GSP

Hi all, I am from Hong Kong, just purchased a green spotted puffer yesterday and house it in my 20 gallon tank alone

Hope it will grow healthy and happy
