They love to eat Neocaridina Heteropoda zoeas and a huge amount of planorbis corneus and/or physas snails.
Also feeding on Grindal worm and waiting for some brine shrimp and blood worm frozen food too 8)
¿is this diet ok? ¿how about the space? there are a lot of java fern, rocks and plants and i haven´t seen any sign of aggression.
¿do you like some pic for the pufferpedia?

They are at 25º, 7ph, gh6, kh4.
Let there be light, and lit up the days... Let there be puffers, and they swam around the world...

I finally found some of these guys in a LFS selling for $2 the owner pointed their tank out to me and I spent several seconds looking for them and I was shocked to see how small they really were! I had always thought it was an empty aquarium. lol Cute little guys.

Seems difficult to manage all of them in one tank. I can't imagine doing a head count everyday.

Show a video during feeding! :d
Kind regards,

Well I evacuated one of my small tanks and went back to that LFS and got some Dwarf Puffers. (they referred to them as pea puffers) I am officially a multi species puffer keeper now.
