My first puff

Post by puffpaddy »

I got this little guy from walmart on the 10th of July, he's in a 29gal now and the SG is 1.008. He is a vicious little guy, gonna try and keep his wild side alive with as much live food as possible. I'd say that he is 2" with tail.

here is Puffy..

This video is the ending of his first red clawed crab meal. I had to kill the crab and crack the shell, the shell was a little too hard for him to crack on his own. The crab was about as big as him, needless to say Puffy wasn't fazed, as soon as that crab hit the water Puffy went darting after the crab and homing in on his eyes.
