Why mussel should not be feed to Congo spotted puffer?

[professorjimjam]

Did the puffers regurgitate them because of the salt, maybe?

I don’t think so the mussels had any salt, they are packaged and cleaned with no trace of salt. I bought from the best fish food brand that guaranteed no salt.

Did it say no salt or no salt added?

Yes. It said no trace of any salt.
I also tasted it myself, found no salt in it

i feed my 14' Mbu "Molly the Mbu" frozen clams, shirmp, cooked crayfish and yes precooked frozen mussels. Very had any problem. As a long time fishkeeper the best advice I give is to feed a varied diet. Mbu definetly need certain foods to keep their teeth trimmed down.

thanks. But my fishes are not Mbu , they are Congo spotted puffers. The research saya if you give them mussels , you will kill them. And I have experienced that in its practicality.
Mbu is a different species, and it can eat mussel

Professor - Sorry to hear the problem with your Congo spotted puffers. Research is one thing, but first-hand experience like you've had is much more valuable. I wasn't aware of the difference results between the Congo spotted puffer vs. Mbu Puffers. Thank you for sharing.
