My porcupine puffer only eats peas!
Re: My porcupine puffer only eats peas!
At long last, my porcupine puffer has begun to eat something other than peas! Two weeks ago, I bought a live littleneck clam, smashed it with a hammer, and pulled out the clam using tweezers. He ate the whole clam! I also fed him shell-on shrimp yesterday. So now his diet is getting more diversified. He still loves peas and spits water out at the pea. I also stock the tank with snails, but I can't really tell if he's eating them or not.

Great news! Now you can try soaking the foods in vitamins, for even better nutrition.
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

Re: My porcupine puffer only eats peas!
casc - that depends on the fish and how well nourished the current monotonous diet keeps him - which is unpredictable.
Where's the fish? - Neptune
