I'm so used to my other puffers, Congo excluded, eating tons and tons of food relative to their size. Not that I overfeed, but that they always WANT to eat. Buzz seems content with eating a crayfish tail and then resting lol. Fahakas certainly have personality.Sand stuck on Fahaka...

Re: Sand stuck on Fahaka...
I tried an earthworm and he didn't even look at it. I took it out and put it in some garlic juice and then returned it to the tank, but with the same effect. Hopefully he'll take them in the future.

Don't make your Fahaka Fat! lol.
I have a question. How big is the tank your Fahaka is in? Mine is in a 150 gallon and gets a 50% WC a week, not everyday. Must be getting expensive on the water bill, no? Or is it a small tank?

Re: Sand stuck on Fahaka...
Reaper my fahaka is the same way, he only moves to eat lol. Once in a while he will dart from end to end and then go right back to his spot and just lay there

and i did the research and the 2nd story floor will hold a 1500lb tank easy so im not to woried. i love this littel guy though dogs are the only pet ive ever had with the same amount of personality! i was told to be doing 50% water changes a day by a few people here until i could move him into the bigger tank and he seems happy as all get out!
