Puffer Fish Hand Fed

This is my figure eight puffer, Brawn. He is freshwater....well brackish~ and loves to chase bloodworms and eat them out of your hand. I highly suggest pufferfish to anyone w/ a tank......that is....if you want something w/ alittle personality :) Music by: H.I.M.

Try hand feeding large porcupine puffers and an extra large stars and stripes puffer with large scary teeth! Now that takes a lot of courage! I trained my puffers to eat gently from my hand several years ago. Still got all 10 digits on both hands Haha!

@3Deditor Those are saltwater fish, this is obviously fresh, which is a little more rare for them to act this way. I also have a saltwater with a dogface puffer which that is the only way he will eat is if you hand feed him.

I keep these fish but mine are very scared of me. How did you get them to eat from your hand? I have had mine for over a year and they would still rather swim into the glass or run into rocks than come up to me. I love watching them swim and eat but once I get within 2 feet of the tank they freak out and run into things, its annoying. I got these fish because I herd they were smart but my cichlids seem much smarter.

You should do some more videos of your puffer. See if you can pet it. I'd like to see that, you've already made a bond good enough that you can hand feed it. Try petting it. It took me awhile but all smart fish can develop personality. Example: My Eel is real funny, and loves to play peek a boo. He'll poke his head out and then run back in, real cute.

Check out my video of petting my Tire Track Eel as proof.

P.S. That is if he's still alive. It's been 2 years since so tragedy could have stuck.

Oops... My bad idk about I.D. Shark... but Columbia and puffer might do well... As long as you have a big enough tank for them. Really just depends on the type of puffer. P.M. if you need more info.

Actually, should do great with I.D. Shark unless you get it when its really old, and not happy. If it's fresh you can't get a Figure 8. They live a lot longer, and are a lot more happy in Brackish.
