Hi,
I am new to the forum and this is my first post - please be gentle!!
I have 2 Amazon Puffers (Colomesus asellus ) in a sucessful 150L community tank. (one of my 3 tanks)
I am finding it difficult to feed my Puffers foods that will grind down their teeth - tried whole cockle but they did not eat them.... they prefer the bloodworm's that the other fish like - which would be fine except their teeth are now visable, and i assume from my reading / googling on them that they will keep on growing til they cannot eat.... i do not have any snails in the tank, and am reluctant to buy some snails as food, so was hoping someone could perhaps have an idea of other foods to try that may help their teeth - i am not confident enough to become their dentist, and although they were an impulse buy many months ago we are rather attached to the cheeky little things!
thanks in advance!
p.s
The tankmates:
2 red spotted severum
1 green Severum
2 blue Acara (currently sectioned off to one end of the tank with their wriggling babies)
2 silver sharks
1 3 spot Gouarmi
and my catfish John.
