Forget about brine shrimp. It's not very nutricious, being made up of mostly water.

I put back the original cayfish that was meant for the Fahaka in with the Mbu and the Mbu has been chasing and biting it ever since. The crayfish is bigger than the Mbu and so the Mbu is having a hard time eating the fast cray.

Is frozen krill the best food for the puffers right now? The Mbu is about 3" skinny and the Fahaka is about 4" fat.


Btw how do you post pics on this site?

Thanks

MTS are generally known to be too hard for puffers especial y of this size.They may damage and even break their teeth.Best to avoid these if you can.
