Isn't Selcon for marine fish?
"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."

Is it? Well, I guess I'll try and find another vitamin supplement.

They might make a FW version. Just make sure that whatever you get is for FW.
The diet you've put together is great - nice and varied.

Re: Help Me Compose a Diet for my Dwarf Puffers?
That's great! I didn't think I had quite enough items on the list, but I suppose alternating the food in a pattern of say:
Monday: Freeze-Dried Krill
Tuesday: Live bloodworms
Wednesday: Small frozen mussel each
Thursday: Skip in an effort to duplicate feeding in the wild.
Friday: Frozen Bloodworms
Saturday: Snails
Sunday: Frozen Bloodworms
>> Would be sufficient for a healthy and balanced diet. I'll change the schedule often as well.

Re: Help Me Compose a Diet for my Dwarf Puffers?
I don't think you need to get quite so complex. Three foods, fitting in at least two different ones per week, will be great. 
Looks like you're really excited!

I am! 
I'm hoping down the road when I finish University I can really get in to the hobby.
For now, seeing as I have "They belong in nature" type parents, a few puffers will have to suffice my yearning.

OMG! Yes! My mom keeps telling me the exact same thing, and I keep saying that the fish look pretty happy to me. And I'm waiting for college to be done with so that I can have clownfish. I feel every bit of your pain.
