thanks for the advice I actaully bought 2 more pea puffers yesterday and when I fed them this morning the 2 new ones ate and the other 2 followed there lead so I am glad I knew they were ok cause they are really activebut i just wanted to make sure they ate they took to the froozen bloodworms cause at the store I got them from that is what they said to give them...thank you again how are yours doing?
I just bought 2 pea puffers the other day they are so cute and tiny it's fun watching them swim al over teh place...I feed them blood worms they did not seem to interested in them like the other fish were any suggestions? I was thinking maybe brime shrip since they are smaller
I could not get mine to ever eat anything that was not alive, freeze dried was no good, frozen was no good, I only can ever get mine to eat food thats still moving.
What I ended up doing was buying a pool net and taking it to local rivers and lakes and dredging up a bunch of snail and bugs for him to munch on, I keep that stuff in an airated bucket.(My dnr friend says doing that is totally illegal so keep that in mind if you gop this route.)
@Canopenner you should let it starve for more than half a week and try feeding frozen or dried food again. that what i did to mine and it started to eat it again no more mozzy larvae and guppies every time ==
@emostars71 Stars, also don't be surprised if your puffs won't eat for the first few days, they stress out after such a huge change and they usually won't eat anything for a day or two. Don't worry. :)
@emostars71 2 out of 5 of mine doesnt show any interest in bloodworms either.. but whn they think no1 is watchin, they'll start eating.. might wanna leave the worms in thr for an additional few mins n c wat happens.. worth a try..
are tadpoles good food for them. if so it must be easy to feed the puffer just toss in twenty or so put in some flakes for the other fish tadpoles get fed live a while and when the puffer gets hungy food is always there and when theres a few left buy some more
ps im planing on setting a a light brackwater tank and getting some of these (around 5 to 10) with a bunch of other fish and if its good to feed these to them please pm me with what kind and howmany per fish
I ran out of tadpoles fairly quickly, it would eat all availible food and not stop until everything is consumed. I mostly feed it snails, pond, ramshorns and trumpets, And whatever I can catch during the summer and can keep in a bucket over the winter-consisting of mostly little bugs, snails and underdeveloped fish larvae.
The dwarf puffer(Carinotetraodon travancoricus) I have is strickly freshwater tho. I know alot of the other ones are brackish tho.
nope, most likely its a loach I rescued from a bad fishkeeper who left him live unfed and uncleaned in a 55 gallon tank for 5 months, its amazing any of the fish survived at all.
Sweet puffers. That has to be final fantasy in the background. 10?

@Canopenner Perfect way to infect your tank with every germ, disease and parasite under the sun. Most irresponsible thing I've read for a while.

Wow... Unfed and uncleaned for 5 months. Thats's really, bad... I think it survived coz there's algae in the tank.
