Do's and Dont's of feeding puffers with vid!

Post by lilacamy931 on Tue Aug 11, 2009 8:58 pm

Well this morning I learnt how not to feed puffers and did some proper ones so you can see how quickly their bellies bulge Smile

Step One - Do not feed fingers

Geez! They sure are digging into that shrimp :shock:. I can imagine that they bite hurts! But... didn't you get three of them? Where was the last one? Hope they are all well...

Ah had three little DPs which I rehomed, only went for two GSPs they look small in the tank now but get a good size and hope not to rehome any. Aw Melly if you want rid that is great theyll love all sizes, the big ones I had are too big and need smaller for them to get their mouths around. The couple juniors I have want to let them grow up as first batch to ensure have a continuing supply. But please please dont go to any trouble!

I have much better respect now! LOL They were happily attacking the siphon this morning and then the pingpong ball which placed for distraction while divedin. They dont tend to go for arms just the fingers! They are very funny to watch and sure will have more vids at some point Wink
