The Puffer Forum

I had put one ghost shrimp in with my new Dwarf Puffers. Sunday when I started feeding the DP's the ghost shrimp pounced on little Max [DP] and was taking is bloodworms! Needless to say the GS is now living with Harry [GSP]. I was just really surprised by that. The GS is bigger than the DP's. I'm glad that we hand feed our little guys. They're so cute.

aww the poor DP!

I had my ghost shrimp do that to my DPs a few times, unlike the amano shrimp, who were always polite and kept to their algae. Both amano shrimp are alive two years later. The ghost shrimp vanished after a couple months. Coincidence?

Makes me think of the time when a GS kept getting in Harry's face. He finally bit it in half. Harry showed that shrimp.
