Brine Shrimp!!

Post by HeatherRW »

Bought a bunch today and I've never seen my puffers so excited! Surprisingly they still pay no attention to my ghost shrimp! They will swi'm right past the puffers face and they don't even care.

Ghost shrimp are a hit or miss. For me its only been a miss, they use my fahaka as a dance floor and my Gsp knows not theyre their. Good thing ghost shrimp survive in brackish, or should I say thrive. They make great puffer maids and clean up well after a messy meal.

My F8s demolished ghost shrimp, but they never had shrimp as tankmates. I'd drop the ghosts in at regular feeding time, and the hunt was on. :)
Yo ho, yo ho, a puffer's life for me.

Keep in mind, BS have almost no nutrition. They are just mostly water.
