Fangs Puffer Feeding Question.

Post by purplecandle »

I would say over the past year my fangs seems to want to eat less. He's not sick, and his weight is healthy...it's just not been good for my parameters to have uneaten food in there. He will eat worms (his FAVORITE) and raw shrimp and mussels.

I normally skip a couple days then feed.. but most of the time he won't eat. It's not that he never eats, it's just that he doesn't eat often. He eats when he feels like it.. sometimes everyday, sometimes every couple of days..

No I've had him almost 2 years, and he was full grown when I found him.. so he is definitely an adult...I'm inclined to think that he is a grumpy old man actually... :geezer:

I'm wondering if I should go down to once a week feeding? Would that be harmful?

I'd do 2x/week.
