Got a figure 8!
So today I got a figure 8! just one, they are a bit expensive. I just fed him his first snail!! he was being stupid, so i justput it on a string and it took him a while to see it, but he ate it!!!!! its so exciting! okay, so how many snails do i feed? Just one? and do i give them bloodworms every now and then?
Noobs, it takes one to know one.

Re: Got a figure 8!
Mine enjoys a few snails, I generally feed him the snails every 3 days or so, and about 4 or so that are the size of his eyes or smaller. The other days i feed bloodworms, he seems to like bloodworms the most, but he looks awesome when he hunts down snails. He generally attacks them immeadiately after I put them in.
Also if you want another F8 I can send you mine, I've been thinking about getting rid of him to do something completely different with the tank he is in.

Those who say money can't buy happiness don't know where to find puffers.

Re: Got a figure 8!
Welcome to the world of F8s! I have two and think they're fabulous fish. As xrayjeeper said, feed until you see a nice rounded belly (but not the point where they look ridiculously overstuffed). For my 1.5 inch F8s, that takes about 2 to 3 very small snails apiece.
Yo ho, yo ho, a puffer's life for me.
