Hey guys,

So i finally found a FS in Montreal that sells dwarf puffer fish :). I got myself 2 at about .25" and they are in a 10g. The filtration setup has black sand with a sponge filter and an AC 30(everybody says have a lot of filtration cuz puffers are messy). Now my main question as stated in the title is can i feed them black worms? Most sites i read said to feed blood worms+shrimp, krill etc, but nothing about black worms. So I'm wondering if anybody here knows if i should avoid it or its a good thing, cuz iv been told BW have more protein than bloodworms. Also the black worms im buying off Evilbay, they are freeze dried and come from California (not Australian).

That should be fine, also make sure you do not have two males or they will non stop fight. Pea puffers are really not messy either, they are just too small to be messy.
 
That's all mine will eat. Spoiled brats! Mature males have wrinkles behind their eyes.

Hmm so ill have to wait n see. These ones are still little. Also its been 2 days and they still havnt eaten :(
