Feeding Dwarf Puffers

Post by Pufferly7 »

Hi there! I have 3 juvenile dwarf puffers in a 20 gallon. I feed them baby MTS, bloodworms, mysis shrimp, and baby brine shrimp. I was wondering if I could feed them earthworms from my garden as well (we don't use any pesticides or chemicals at all)?
I was also curious about grocery store food, like crab meat or mussels chopped up? Any thoughts are welcome, thanks!

Yes, earthworms are great! Anything you can find in the fish dept of your grocery store, UNCOOKED, is good too.

Excellent thank you!

So it's kind of ridiculous, but my mom asked if they could eat hard-boiled egg yolk, and I thought I'd ask just to see?

I wouldn't offer them anything cooked.
