Might be getting a Congo puffer...
Well I been sayin that I will be getting a Congo puffer one day and it might happen in 2 days. A guy bought a congo puffer from a lfs. Same place I bought my Fahaka from. Well he ask me if I wanted to buy it the other day. So I asked him why he wanted to sell it and he told me that he was tired of havin to feed it live fish. Well I guess I will have to get tips changin them over to frozen food from PP...lol. So anyways got a 20 gal. long that has been set up over 3 years and just need to move the fish thats in it now for this Congo puffer if I get him.

Iv'e had my arrowhead about 10 months and never fed him frozen anything before, can't you get lobworms or earthworms anywhere near you? or out the ground? They sure do like them guppies. I let him eat guppies every now and then as a treat.

Re: Might be getting a Congo puffer...
Yep I can get tons of earthworms out of the ground or baitshops around me. Feeder fish should not be hard to get, since I use to buy them all the time for my lionfishes years ago. Just going to try to wean him off live feeders later on if all goes well..

Re: Might be getting a Congo puffer...
Yeah i gave some guppies to my arrowhead when i first got him because he wouldn't eat any of the frozen stuff. I just keep a wormery box with some lobworms and earthworms from my bait shop and thats his main diet. I feed a live crab or some shrimp every now & then. I give him guppies hardly ever but he does love to watch them and pick them off, it's when he seems most active.
