To hell with dwarf puffers

I'm hereby done with dwarf puffers.

Two have died on me. They eat nothing. Flake, formula 1, mysis, brine, bloodworms, no interest. The second one died in two days.

So I say to hell with the little spinal bifida puffers.

In other news, my oto in the ten gallon died and one in the 55 gallon too. Algae is starting to speckle the 55 gallon so I need to get a couple more for the big tank. The survivor is now in the ten gallon, eating the algae was starting to take over. Also added a black mystery snail.

Haven't updated in a while. Nothing new to report, really.

You obviously just lack the ability to take care of your fish. Dps are the best fish you can have. Bloodworms are the easiest and best things to feed them as well as snails. If you don't have the knowledge on an animal, then don't try to keep the animal.

i find dwarf puffers some of the easiest fish to keep, in fact i have had problems to get them to stop eating. a good trick if you want to see a cool feeding. is find a earthworm somewhere in between 2-8 inches the skinnier the better. then throw it in and watch the puffer rip it to shreds. my puffer epirus once reduced a 8 inches worm to little bits then ate it. they do better on their own with no other fish, also do no keep males together. keep 4 gallons of water for puffer.
