Hello,
I have had a fahaka puffer for a year but it only went from around 2 inches to about 4 and a half inches and doesn’t really do anything but sit at the bottom of the tank and occasionally goes up and down the front of the tank I am feeding 1 shrimp everyday with weekly water changes and a feeder crab once a month and advice

Re: Fahaka puffer
Did you read the article I posted about feeding? Shrimp is high in thiaminase, which is detrimental.
