The Puffer Forum

I currently keep a green spotted puffer, figure 8 puffer, and a group of pea puffers. The F8 and GSP are kept in brackish water. All of my puffers are doing really well and have been with me for a while. My problem is that I’ve tried Fahakas 3 separate times and it always ends the same. They don’t eat and then a week later, they die. Can any of the Fahaka keepers tell me the secret to keeping fahakas?

They don't appreciate being moved and sulk for quite some time on a hunger strike. Try live food, as this is what they are used to eating in the wild. Even when I moved mine from a 55-gallon to 125 (which I thought he would appreciate), he wouldn't eat for 2 weeks.

Thanks for the response. I’ll keep trying
