heres some information on your dog faced puffer that i hope really helps!
*the dog faced puffer got its name for looking like a dog..i think we kinda guessed that lol. but they also are kinda like having a dog in a tank beacuse they are very affectionate, they like coming up and being hand fed. they are very intelligent and recongize their owners and get excited when they see you. some are known to show you their teeth which is their version of smiling!!
*and like most dogs they are not picky eaters!! they quickly adapt to a varity of food and sometimes algea, but it makes them bad for reef since they will eat soft corals
*they do have teeth and these teeth need to be maintained! they keep growing like bunny teeth!!! if you let them grow out they will need to be trimmed which doesnt sound like an easy task, but its either trim them or let them die...
*these little guys can produce a big bioload on your filter so make sure to keep up on your water changes!!
and they uasually get any where from 9-16 inches!!! thats a big fishy!!
*good food:
live foods such as snails, crabs, crayfish, and shrimp (good for teeth) and earthworms, shellfish, crustaceans. frozen food: prawn, crabs/crab leggs, bloodworms, blackworms, silversides and mussels
*bad food: live fish are bad for them it can give them fatty liver,
flake food can be used, they might eat it but they cannot thrive on it
*a large vareity of live and frozen foods are best in small amounts everyday
