sorry...i couldn't remember if i put what kind they were or not...they are the figure 8 puffer fish....by the way...after i got done reading stuff on them...i found out that they sometimes don't get along with other fish...so i had bought two puffer fish...and 3 rosy red fish....they are used to feed Oscars....but that's not why i got them...i thought they were pretty fish...but anyway....after i got done looking at the site....i went to check on them..and found out that they had eaten one of them...so i moved them to a different tank...so they should be good for now...but i still need to know where to buy the food for the puffer fish...can i get it at walmart or where?

Thew rosys should not be kept with your puffers. Read the article in or Library on F8 puffers. There is also an excellent article there on feeding puffers.
