How to feed my GSP while on vacation?
I'll be going on vacation for a solid week and i was wondering how i should go about feeding my puffer while i'm gone. I figure i'd put loads of pest snails in the tank with him and around 8-12 ghost shrimp. There are plenty of places in my tank for the ghosts to hide, so Smudge won't eat them all at once. Any other ideas?

How big is your GSP? Larger GSP can go longer without eating while juveniles should be fed more frequently.

He's only about 1 inch, minus the tail. I put in about 30 pest snails (which i needed anyway) today and i'll stock a bunch of shrimp the day before i leave.
