Hi I'm going on vacation for 7 days and worried about feeding my puffers while I'm gone. Other then having someone come in your house and feed them daily, what do you all do when you are gone with the feeding of your puffers?I know there are automatic feeders out there for regular fish but is there anything out there for our type of fish? I feed my puffers fresh snails and frozen clams and seafood that is defrosted and freeze dried krill.
Thanks for the advise!

Feed them very well before you leave, do water change also. Puffers will be fine

+1 xray and throw in a few snails just before you go
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

It's a +1, it's basically a virtual high five, or a "I second this motion!"
