My puffs shred it to pieces, which caused pieces of worms to spread throughout my tank. I had to do a water change the following day.
I might have to get some of those too. The worm was perfect for his mouth but it was pretty long so it took him a bit of time to actually finish eating it. But he did rip it to shreds too.

It's really fun when the worms are just the right size. Sometimes the puffer will chew them, but more often it seems like they just inhale them, then exhale them, and then inhale them again. The worm disappear, reappears, and then is gone forever lol.
It's a crayfish! It's a snail! It's a... ah who cares?

I see the worm popping out of filbert's gills while he's eating it.
