The Puffer Forum

thanks schismy i already love them tbh lool!! such sweeties poor little guys were starving :O soon as ive set them free, the little girl went for a snail lol, so ive put some bloodworms in, and theyve both eaten loads!

Awww, poor things. You know, I don't think I've ever bought a well-fed puffer from an LFS. I think they just have so many fish to feed that they only throw in a pinch of food and most of the time, with puffers, they only get flake food anyway, so that's a waste to them.

The Congo I got yesterday has no tummy at all, and I hope it starts eating soon. If the food I put in tonight isn't gone tomorrow morning, I will put some of my live Endlers in there and that should get him interested (I hope).

Oh, I also got 2 very small dwarf puffers yesterday, that was to replace the mudskipper that died last weekend. They didn't have any mudskippers, so I chose the dwarf puffers .... they are almost miniscule, but still cute! I seen one of them swimming to get away from a gourami, although I don't think the gourami was actually after it, but the dwarf looked scared anyway!

aww hope the congo starts eating soon aswell!! im sure it will once its settled in + lol @ the dwarf puffer!! absolutely everything they do is cute init lol theyre lovely man!

the lfs was apparently feeding them bloodworms, but like u say, they wont of got much will they. poor little things!! at the min theyre both swimming round like they own the tank lol!! trying 2 eat the plants aswell lool

My irrubesco really enjoy pieces of King Prawn (shrimp) too, so much that the one male will try and take it from BeeBoo's mouth! He's very bold for doing that, and I'm always afraid that BeeBoo will bite him, but hasn't happened so far.
