The Puffer Forum

so basically u could feed ur puffers brine shrimp,bloodworms etc and the bbg would finish off the scraps.

More like the food the puffer misses. IME they don't go for ABC food.

my BBGs aren't a good clean up crew --- once it hits the bottom they leave it alone - unless really hungry i guess -- i feel like my f8 cleans up after himself, which is a problem if i overfeed and the BBGs dont clean up --

ive found using a turkey baster and target feeding everyone to be the best -- otherwise someone over-eats and someone else under-eats

Yeah, I've been feeding with a turkey baster, if only because I can put in the worms one at a time and make sure that they eat it.

One trick that I've found with my BBGs, Mike, is if they don't eat it when it hits the ground, suck up a bunch of water in the baster and blast it at the food. When I feed them bloodworms, it makes them either lift off the rocks, or wiggle around a bunch so that they think they're still alive. I've had my BBGs clean up a lot of food like that! ^_^
