The Puffer Forum

congrats!! Day 1 is always the exciting / nervous time

Keep us posted of any changes and the little details.

I will be doing business with him again. The only part that scares me is when he told me fahaka's are normally a skinny puffer. But the fish seems fine. So when I up the tank size for Bloat I will be going back to him for a congo

I love watching him hunt around the tank for shrimp and snails. I cant stop grinning when i look over and see him swimming around

Be sure you gut-load those shrimp or he's pretty much just eating 98% water. Try meatier foods soaked in vits & garlic.

The shrimp are ones that I couldnt get out of the tank, I have some im tryin to breed. When I toss those in im going to drop in a algae wafer first to let them eat on.

Im going to stop at walmart today and get some worms for him

Try him with pieces of raw jumbo shrimp, possibly mussels too. Mine loves both!
