The Puffer Forum

Fishie Fish is one lucky little puffer, who thinks he's a piranha. I like to give him a treat of high quality shrimp from the local butcher and he loves to tear into it.

nice vid, is it puffed up abit of just full up?

Beautiful tank and Puffer. A word of caution overfeeding can be harmful. Puffers should only be feed until their bellies are slightly rounded, overfeed = shortened lifespan. Here is a link discussing it.

trekenk, thank you for your imput. I always appreciate peoples' advice.

I'm editing this because I don't want to sound douchey; because that was not my intent.

Even though I just joined this forum, I am not a nub. I've kept GSP for 22 years and had a round little pair for 10 years. My feeding techniques seem to work for me and my babies

Just full. He's a fat boy who always stays on the round side. Thought, in this video I let him eat a bit more than usual because I was filming him. At the very end, I'm saying "I better that this out before Fishie kills himself."
