Dwarf puffers

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
In my experience, they are kind of hard to feed. It took me a long time to get mine off of live food (live mysis shrimp.) I've got a planted 10g with 6 or 7 in it, because my girlfriend thinks they're the cutest thing she's ever seen. I'll admit, they're funny little fish. There were a couple black skirt tetras in it too, but the dwarf "pea" puffers are really nippy little guys

Is there anything other than snails as I've seen people who ure frozen bloodworms in a block and it apparently helps keep there teeth trim ?

Not really seeing as how small dwarf puffers are. Bloodworms definitely aren't enough to keep theur teeth trim not to mention the fact that bloodworms have almost no nutritional value.

^ actually, dwarf puffers are about the only species of puffer that you never need to worry about teeth overgrowing as far as i know...

Feeding them was always super easy ime, blood worms or cali black worms works fine...

Then you can always supplement their diet with some pest snails from petco or something... Just quarantine them for like a week prior to feeding...

As for how many to put in there, normally people say max around 1M with 2F in a 10G max...

So in a 90G it would be around 25 dwarfs if its heavily planted... Maybe 3 males to 22 females to keep aggression down...
