Aww she's so cute! :D

Do all puffer species start so small or are the larger ones larger? (even asking that sounds kinda silly... :D

I know the standard rule of thumb for small GSPs is to feed them once a day for 6 days, but what do you guys think about infant GSPs?

She can't eat much anyway, but should I feed twice a day?

I threw a bunch of ramshorn snails and newly hatched ramshorns in there, but she doesn't seem to know its food. Sometimes, she just sleeps next to them.

I vote no fasting while she's little. But then, I've never had a little guy like that, so don't take my word for it.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Found among the papers of Mohatma Gandhi
