Re: hello
well everybody my wee f8 is in the tank now. he's been in there 9 hours now and is swimming about exploring his new home. he's only about 3 quarters of an inch long.
anyone want to suggest a good puffer name. i can't think of any good ones.
here's a couple of pics. he is camera shy. when ever i bring the camera to the tank he swims away.

I have 4 BBG's with my puffers in a 20g tank and the puffers completely ignore them, but what works for one may not work for the other. I have though come across a few people that have done this successfully

Re: hello
i was wondering apart from snails what is a good food to feed a f8 puffer. i fed him for the first time today. i gave him a small portion of mysis and he seemed to like it. so basicly should i feed him on mysis, krill and blood worm. i have loads of this in the freezer. also because he is tiny should i feed everyday. his belly was a little sunken before i fed today but now it is nice and plump again. i think his belly was sunken because he was delivered into the fish store then i picked him straight away. so he probably hasn't been fed for a while before he was shipped to the fish store.
what type of snails are easy to breed to feed him on. i have a betta tank i can use for snail breeding. i don't know what breed of snail to use for him that is small enough and will breed well enough to provide enough food.

Re: hello
There are plenty of articles in the library about how to breed snails and suggestions on what to feed your puffer. I think ramshorns are the easiest to breed, myself.
I like a main diet of snails, but its not always possible. I try to feed thawed out frozen mysis, live blackworms and the ocassional nibble on a thawed out, shell on "people shrimp".

Re: hello
i think i'll try to get my hands on some ramshorn snails then.
so mysis and bloodworm is ok. i am going to the fish monger soon to try to get some small shrimp in their shells to freeze for the puffer.
