The Puffer Forum

I have two GSPs that have grown really fast, they are into three inches (a really fat three inches). I have had them since March 30, 2010, So I am sure they are not very old.

Here is a video of them in a quarantine tank months ago (I have posted this before)

The two I am talking about come in the video at 25 seconds and they are behind the colorful cave ornament, one of them, Kahlua comes around and bites the worm. Both of them have eye problems in the video.

Here are pictures of Kahlua now, well a month or two ago. Both Kahlua and Popcorn are about the same, but I do not have any pictures of Popcorn.





So, I am pretty sure they are not old, but they are big. Should I slow down on feeding them? Maybe feed them every other day. Do you slow down on feeding based on age or size? I know that typically you would feed juveniles more...but these guys are roughly the same age as my other smaller puffs (Probably a year or so old, depending on when they were caught)..it doesn't seem fair?????? Just because they are growing faster..

Any opinions?

I am wondering because i just read that RTR feeds his F8 every other day, and these two puffers are big enough to eat an F8.

According to the article by pufferpunk feeding is based on size. I have 2 GSP that are 2 and 2.5 inches and I still feed them daily minus 1 day a week. Here is a link to the article.
