Got three dwarf puffers today.
Assuming I've got males and females, I'm gonna try to get them to spawn. I've read that an abundance of Java moss will promote that.
Any other suggestions?
Actually you don't want to crush crush snails. They crush them with their teeth to keep them healthy. Otherwise they may keep growing. (Like rabbits)Hello little friends !
All I know about puffers is , first of all , they are cool.
Not sure but they might be a bit difficult to feed but once you find something they like you’re all set. I’ve heard crushed snails. They like snail meat so you might want to have plenty available.
They are , supposedly , touchy about water conditions but I don’t know in what way.
One other thing I heard is that they are very social and prefer plenty of their own company. If that is all puffers or just one species I don’t know.
Just my own particular opinion here is that I would have them in a species only tank. They might nip other fish. Supposedly they like to bite and tear out chunks. Also, slow swimming as they are other fish will out compete them for food.
You feed them ramshorn snails.Yeah maybe @Rocky998 . I would think it comes down to the size of the fish and the snail. Big fish little snail , watch and see what happens but have you ever seen a mouse eat a walnut whole ? Neither have I.
I don't think that's the case with pea puffers. These guys suck the snail out of its shell. They don't crush them.Actually you don't want to crush crush snails. They crush them with their teeth to keep them healthy. Otherwise they may keep growing. (Like rabbits)
Interesting... Ive always heard of them crushing the shellI don't think that's the case with pea puffers. These guys suck the snail out of its shell. They don't crush them.
Overhere, they would sleep between the plants. But yes, they like to hide when they want to sleep.Shrimp caves for them to sleep in.. When lights are out these guys like to sleep in caves
Mine eat mainly dried bloodworms and snails
