  • Lol, and later that same week the puffer probably ate it.

  • Actually the worst "expensive shrimp eaters" in my experience are dottybacks, such as Neon Dottyback and Orchid Dottback. I could not keep a cleaner until my dottyback passed on. The fish would take every opportunity to ambush and take a bite out of the shrimp.

  • haha typical cleaner shrimp... jus dont care what its havin a munch on as long as its havin a munch.

  • If you stick your hand in front of a cleaner shrimp, it will usually climb on and start picking at your skin. It feels funny.

  • wow thats weird i panda dogface puffer and i cant have any shrimps or crabs or lobsters cuz he will eat it

    i had a chocolate chip starfish and he tryis eating it too but he only ate the "Chips" and left it alone

  • Yea, I had a problem trying to keep stars and horseshoe crabs, the puffer would attack them. Likewise with clams.

  • @jcubed31 anyway, thanks for the video and I hope the match up worked out well. For new viewers of this video, be careful of pairing puffers with any inverts.

  • @pedromaticus Dotty backs, are indeed mean bastards. And I realize this video and comments are old, and I hate to be -this- guy... but to me it looks like the main reason the puffer hasn't taken a bite is because he looks rather stressed/sick. I dont mean to poke at your fish keeping, but you can clearly see the ich on the puffer. Also he is uncharacteristically chill for a puffer and his eyes look a bit cloudy. Maybe he is just new to the tank.

  • would the poison kill you if you touched it and accidentally put your finger in your mouth? I have always been curious to know that.

  • Looks like my mum

  • @pedromaticus What about royal? My Royal DB has never touched my cleaner shrimp...

  • its just like ToT

  • @damian673

  • uhhhh, i will eat you later jaque

  • It's like NEMO! lol
