Great puffer food. Crunchy, and breed constantly.

Yeah, I got some from a fishy friend around here. Abe loves them, they grow quickly, grow to a nice size (around 6 inches), and reproduce very easily.

I made a rubbermaid bin into a tank for them to breed in. I just need to transfer them over now. :D

PS - Mine doubled in size (from 1 inch to ~2 inches) in about 3 weeks!

This is the type of cray that I breed also and my F8's now turn their noses up at clams after I started feeding these crays to them
