1- is there any point in feeding "feeder fish" to my GSP? these are home raised guppies. not walmart specials. hes already on a diet of snails, crays, and worms. can they be gut loaded?
2-im temporarily housing an 8" pleco for a friend while he fixes his tank. its in my 125 gal with my 2" fahaka puffer. and im almost positive that the little fahaka is eating the plecos algae wafers. even after being fed a snail or cray ive seen him eating the wafer. is this normal? never heard of a puffer eating algae wafers before.
2 questions on 2 fish...

Re: 2 questions on 2 fish...
My GSP used to love algae wafers! As long as the feeders are healthy you could try them but GSPs are basically crustacean-eaters.
