More Video of my GSP

Post by grayhavens »

Here's some more video of my GSP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xO96wO5gv0 I usually feed him snails, but all my snails suddenly died. I was worried about his teeth so I bought him a couple of crayfish. The archer that is with him will shoot crickets from the mangrove plants. Been trying to get footage of that, but the lighting isn't great.

I have been trying to find some crayfish for my gsp but no one carries them but I was wondering if marine puffers would eat them? I have a whitespot and a porc do you think they wouls eat them or is that bad for them?

I've never heard of any problems with serving Saltwater fish some freshwater live food. If the freshwater live food had any parasites they wouldn't survive in saltwater.

They had these at a local pet shop. I recommend removing the claws before feeding them. Crayfish have a nasty pinch and I wasn't really smart putting it in there with pincers. Ghost shrimp are probably better suited for your puffer.

Well my brackish puffers (gsps) don't eat ghost shrimp they seem to think that they are friends! They love snails but don't eat the shell so I was trying to find something they might eat. My salt water fish eat everything that moves in the tank. I have been trying to find some mussells for them but haven't really found any.
