The Puffer Forum

Surprising as it is, my BeeBoo still eats bloodworm. I watched him doing it tonight even, and that wasn't odd as I've seen him sucking it up before. He will eat the main food I offer him, and then when feeding time is over, he will scavenge around the tank sucking up the bloodworm that's fallen to the substrate (and any other pieces of food that interest him). I'm sure my Fire eel isn't too happy about BeeBoo taking the bloodworm, but what's he going to do? You'd think a big puffer like BeeBoo wouldn't be interested in small bloodworm, but sure enough, I've watched him hoovering it up.

Yeah, so does Filbert but only because his tank mates get them. He's destroyed more cone feeders than I can afford to buy him.

PP I thought Filbert was all alone? What are his tank mates?

Filbert has lots of tank mates Lucky!

Good evening to you all, it's now 22.20 here in Blighty, Midge has just eaten his muscle, i think he sets a new record every night one minute it's there then gone.
After his episode when he went quite for a few days (thanks all who gave advice) he has now made up for it, swimming none stop all day, and I must point out negative comments made by certain individuals towards my fish keeping, which did upset me with one of the comments, Midge is looking and enjoying his set up, if I thought any fish was stressing him, or like my Severums taken his food, they were removed from his tank.
I have entered a picture of him, but I missed the deadline, so I have asked Lisa to place it on next months competition so look out for him and even perhaps voxx for him Lol
Well that's my news for this topic that I started, will post anything new about Midge with a topic name.

One last thing I have also moved my two Red eye puffers in his tank , which I did about 2 weeks ago, all 3 seem to get on fine.
