The Puffer Forum

Hi to everybody, sorry for my english but I'm italian.

I have a question: Can I give the dry shrimp for turtle to mine Puffer?

Thanks!!!

Caio Malu!

Che genere di pesce avete? La maggior parte delle pesce non la mangia l'alimento asciutto. Suggerirei gli alimenti quale il gambero congelato di mysis, piccolo krill, e' verme sangue

I don't understand a word of that... except mysis and krill. you don't want to feed very much krill because it's fatty and is suspected to lead to lockjaw.

He asked what kind of krill he had and suggested that he should use frozen shrimp, mysis, and bloodworms.

Welcome malu

It supposed to soak any dry food in water from the main tank to avoid puffer to swallow air. They do need crunch meat food like mussels, clams and shrimp.

Jase, Babelfish, try it out...Translates nearly any written language. http://babelfish.yahoo.com/ Not an exact translator but gets the job done.

Thanks for all replies!!!

I have write without translator program because the result was worse.

I have a very young Green Spotted Puffer.

Feeding: mussels and clams without hull, chironomus, krill and when is possible infestant snails.

The problem is this:I live in a little city, the puffer is too little and I can't find small freeze shrimps with hard hull for his teeth (his mouth is still small), to alternate to the snails.

Ciao!!!

What you are feeding is good.
They do not need shrimp(only if you are feeding your puffer mussels and clams NOT on the half shell,then there teeth would be BIG)

Come stai?

Thanks Sponge bob I'm ok and you?

If I have right understand, I owe leave mollusc attached to the half shell, and puffer for eat scratches his teeth.

If you gently confirm I'll try.

I'm happy for your help, also because my english is "terrible"

i sono cosi cosi.
That sounds right to leave the food like that.

Buy big shrimp & cut them up. Try to leave some shell.

Off topic: Don't worry malu, my first language is portuguese (I write/read the english I learnt by myself) and I guess TPF family understand our english. I think the forum purpose is to share experiences, learn, teach, and help each other, am I right guys?

Absolutely.
