The Puffer Forum

Gave them a few days to settle in before trying to get pics... Noticed this one being a little active and got a few pics before leaving for work!

Bought some earthworms from walmart to feed them and they each had one last night... But one of them only ate half a worm so I was worried about them not getting enough to eat... Already tried thawed raw shrimp a few days ago and only one of them ate a piece. Put some ramshorns in the tank, too and I don't think they care for snails this is my first time feeding picky puffs so I'm not sure what to do... When I put the shrimp pieces in front of them, it took a few mins for the one who ate to realize it was food. Same with live worms... I thought they'd go right for them like the dps do with black worms. Should I try crushing a snail so they can smell it?

Crush them & see.

I love turgidus! Mine died. Can't wait to gave another one.

Yours is super cute! I'm in Love!

Nice find!

I have not seen these available in my area. Very cool color pattern.

Awww, very cute.

What a cute little face

More pics! Don't know if this is the same one as yesterday...

No aggressiveness?

Haven't seen any and the guy at Aqualife said he was surprised that they didn't bother each other in the 10g there

How active are your turgidus puffers? I tried keeping one for a little while but no matter how much hiding space I gave him and even keeping the lights off for long periods he always stayed hidden. Are yours active swimmers?

Sorry I didn't answer sooner, just saw this post... They aren't very active unless they know they're about to get food

These puffers are lurkers, not active hunters.
