I would love to see this.




I just found this while looking. Not in the wild but cool footage of one eating.

I caught a ton of them pods like what that puffer was eating in ditches and streams around here. I think they make up alot of the aquatic animals diet. I wonder if they will be safe for our puffers if you gutload them for aweek or so.
