Good news for hungry puffers!
Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2011 11:51 pm
I just purchased my first GSP tonight after doing extensive research on them. Bought him from Walmart (yeah sad how they treat their fish), but i have him set up in a 20 gal and hes happy as could be.
Anyway the purpose of this post is to let you know I had a very long and pleasant conversation with an older lady who worked at the Walmart and had fish tanks of her own. I briefed her a little more about the puffers they sell.
Eventually I told her about how the puffers need snails and i asked her how much she would charge for the tiny snails they had an abundance of, well she told me that they give them away for free and I could have as many as I like and
she gave me her hours to come in to get more from her when ever I need. So just in case anyone is or was as nervous about finding a unlimited hard food source for their puffer as I was, maybe your Walmart will be as kind
and set you up with a great deal! I also bought one prawn which I'm gut loading for him to have.
Also this is my first post haha, Nice to meet everyone!

The problem is, most places don't have disease-free livestock, so you'll have to quarantine those snails before feeding.![[welcome]](./images/smilies/welcome.gif "welcome")
