Need tips for feeding Pea Puffers
Posted: Tue Mar 01, 2016 4:18 am
I have a pair of pea puffers who are bit picky in their feeding. I finally got them to be interested in frozen bloodworm. They are now eating it, but only if I gave them directly with feeding tongs.
If I just drop the bloodworm in the tank, or the bloodworm has sunk to the bottom, they won't eat it.
The problem is that they now start to fight when they see the feeding tongs; and they would chase the other away from the feeding tongs.
The fighting seems to be getting more and more aggressive everyday. Other than feeding time, they don't bother each other too much.
I am trying to feed each one equally, bring it to close to their mouth when the other puffer is not looking or a bit of a distance away. But this is not always successful, as once the other puffer sees the feeding tongs, the fight would start again.
Is there any technique or tips to feed both puffers equally and prevent the fighting?
Thanks!
