My new Fahaka puffer

[Miles]

Nice Pick-up..

Start socializing him now They can have tankmates if you choose wisely..
'Only a matter of time', over 1 year and waiting.. we will see..

Feed him Krill and Silversides if you want him to grow, mine grew like 8" in a few months but then I quit feeding him so much. They are alot more active if you don't overfeed them as well..

Thanks.... what are silversides? and what about the sand thing?

Do you still have those GTs we talked about?

Petsmart sells frozen silversides in a package like bloodworms, krill, etc. They are rather large though.

Sand is good for filtering through the gills, they find it easier to find fod on sand and also like to bury themselves partly in sand.

Puffers do not eat fish, they are not piscivores and can`t digest them properly.
As for tankmates, it`s up to you but I would definately not recommend it, there`s always the occasional exception but I wouldn`t risk it.
