Re: do you give your puffers vitamins in their food?
As is the case with many folk here, I presoak all freeze-dried and frozen/thawed/rinsed foods in vitamin solutions.
But I am not familiar with the brands available to you. Others from your area will be better able to respond to that.

I use Vita-Chem, you can get it from Dr.Fosters and Smith..not sure where all they ship to though

I just started using the Vita-Chem.
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

I use Vita-Chem as well
I truly would use Dr.Fosters and Smith, since I got 4oz for $13.50 at my LFS

I tried Zoe once and none of my fish would eat the food soaked in it.

Re: do you give your puffers vitamins in their food?
I soak the freeze dried food for my puffer and scat 1-2 times a week with zoe and they eat it right up. I noticed the puffer has begun to gain some weight, but not in a bad way. He always used to be skinny between feedings, but not anymore.Myaj wrote:I tried Zoe once and none of my fish would eat the food soaked in it.

Ugh, don't. Buy it online or something, unless your BA price matches. I paid a good $20 for mine and it's online for around $6. Even with shipping that's still cheaper.
