They all look great! Still makes me sad to see a Congo... :(

I think if you want the red guy redder, you should add some red gravel to his sand.

Isn't puffing bad for them? I read that somewhere. Some guy accidently caught one when fishing and released it. A bunch of people gave him hell saying its so unhealthy for the fish and how dare he put the fish through that and stuff. >:( people, hes a fisherman, he let it go, it got to LIVE. Pretty sure the fish will not remember it in..oh yea...ever. Fish don't have and actual recollective memory.. Wow i got off topic. sorry guys. Sweet Puffers!

see above post :D :grinno:

I have never seen them bury themselves like that also. Is that common?

[Pyramid_Party]

Nice puffers

What do you got holding those rocks, they look risky in that position.

[Pufferpunk]

These puffers are called, "ambush predators". See how their eyes are situated on top of their head, instead of on the sides, like other puffers? And also the upturned mouth? They lay in wait, burried in the sand up to their eyeballs, for something to swim/crawl by & then ambush their prey frum underneath, gutting it.

Be sure to feed them a varried diet. FD krill is not best for them as a staple food.

[RedDevilDon2005]

what she said :D ive been feeding market shrimp too. what else should be in there?

[Pufferpunk]

Earthworms, & shrimp (soaked in vitamins), clams, oysters, mussels, etc, cracked open. For more info: http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/library/feeding/feeding-your-puffers/
