Worries about Fahaka Pufferfish

Post by alvinnthechipmunks »

My sister got a Fahaka puffer around Nov 2024 and recently left for college. She left Alvin (the pufferfish) in my care. Because he is around 3 inches long, I started researching about different foods to give him to make sure he grows up healthy. He currently is feed thawed blood worms daily. I tried introducing him to raw shrimp but he refuses to touch it. I’m not sure if he is a picky eater or not because he has been only eating blood worms (he also may of ate my panda garra but we have no proof of that). Am I doing something wrong?

Fahakas will eat their tankmates!

Are you doing weekly water changes for him? What size tank?
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...
