The Puffer Forum

I recently bought 10 ghost shrimps as live food for my GSPs. Initially they were crazy for them, hunting, killing, eating. A couple of weeks later, I still have 3 shrimp left. The GSPs no longer hunt them, they share food & even swim together. Is this normal? Was thinking that if I didn't feed the puffs for a few days, they would resort to hunting again - not that I mind, I quite like the little shrimps now! Just weird to see them swimming & hanging out together!

They're so cute, aren't they? I have one in quarantine right now and I just realized how much I missed watching the little goofballs.

Normal, but not necessarily lasting. It is actually convenient to have some "left-over" shrimp, as they scavenge the bits and shreds the larger puffer leaves behind. But they are not permanent IME. Sooner or later they are sushi..
