GSP and marbled crawfish

Post by lehonea »

I purchased a GSP and was wondering if feeding it live cloning Marbled crayfish would help on wearing down its teeth like snails. I also feed it snails, but setting up a ramshorn(sp) snail tank now and was hoping the shell on the crayfish would help more than freeze dried foods. The GPS loved the crayfish, it must be a Cajun variety :) . Thanks for any feeding help. I have been reading this site and it has a lot of good info, just did not see anything about feeding crayfish.

Yep crawfish are great for puffers. Im breeding em in a 55g tank for my fahaka. But be warned if you start out with more then 1 you will have more babies then you know what to do with lol. I have pulled out probably 15-18 babies and tossed em in my fahaka's tank and you wouldnt even know looking in my cray tank. And ive noticed I havent seen the adults which leads me to believe they are berried again
