Fahaka eating

Well I found out my fahaka likes nightcrawlers but really loves carnivore pellets

That's great especially if it bites the pellet.

Thats good, pellets tend to give a good all round diet and nightcrawlers can really help them put some weight on...

Yeah he chews the pellets up. He goes crazy for those carnivore pellets. I was really suprised

I recently started feeding my 5 month old fahaka some guppy fry along with the snails and such. I've noticed he'll take a snail, realize there are guppies, chase the guppies, and then back to the snails. I'm wondering if these fully quarantined liverbearers are a lucrative food source along with a crunchy diet? An alternative to worms if you will.

Fish really isnt optimal for these guys, there is potential thiamine problems in the long run plus the fact fahakas arent normally piscivores...

Earthworms is a great way to put some weight on them intially but most will agree a crunchy diet supplemented with a good pellet is all you really need...

Then earthworms etc can be used as the ocassional treat if you want to spoil your puffer...
