Btw, your Congo eatin live river shrimp?
Live shrimp was the only thing I could get him to eat when I first got him, he doesn't like earthworms
Yeah, it must be something to do with the planted driftwood, here's another pic

Yep sure looks like fish fry to me. I use to breed different species for feeders. So I believe they are fry. Btw, that congo puffer of yours looks alot like the one I might be getting tomorrow...

You should see him when I'm doing a water change, it's like he gets possessed. It's a stressful 40 mins for both of us
@FADE2BLACK_1973. Cool, I spent a long time trying to find a Congo puffer so was over the moon when I found him. Hope you do get him, they are great puffers. Don't forget to post pics, it would be nice to compare

Just an update on the fish fry, it seems none of them have survived
I had 2 still going on Tuesday, but I was away till yesterday and now can't see any.
So it seems I'll never know what fish shared a tank with my Congo

Many fry will hatch but few are raised to adulthood. Difficult to feed.
