The Puffer Forum

ok here is something...my dwarfs love the blood worms...the problem is that they eat them kinda like spaghetti and its like the whole bloodworm is stuck in their mouthall the way to their bellies. its like they cant swallow it. i have to literally suck it outta their mouths with a the medicine sucker thingy (you know). anyone have any suggestions? i even tried giving them krill today and they turned it down so i had to do the worms again...and i had the problem again.

Simple solution - cut the worms in half before feeding. Also, you don't have to suck the worms out if they do take one too long. Their tummies break down the things fast, and they will eventually swallow it all, even if it takes a couple hours.

it just looked so scary with it hanging out of his mouth. i thought he was gonna choke on it. then when its hanging out of ones mouth the other 2 come over to try and grab it lol.

also when my ghost shrimp eat them bloodwroms the puffers go after them cuz they can see it in the ghost shrimps belly lol

yeah fish arnt to bright there like ooo floating food ( when its a ghost shrimp ) or ooo floating food ( if its there poop) but i love them all the same like he said dont worry about it they wont get them selfs in to much trouble
