They're available, but the frequent feeding (?) And dental needs are a slight worry for me..
Otherwise I wouldn't mind

Totally understand, this was my reason for picking the hairy puffer. No dental issues and not having to have snails to feed it.They're available, but the frequent feeding (?) And dental needs are a slight worry for me..

Here we go on the search again haha. I'd totally get a schoutedini but the price!! Cool fish for a 15gal are hard to find, maybe I'll have two killifish tanks instead..
A hairy will definitely be on the list for future!
I didnt really do anything special to get mine to eat. But there are things it wont eat still. I cant get it to eat tilapia and for some reason it does not like frozen silversides. Maybe there is no movement from the dead fish so it does not go for it. But there is no issue with frozen krill or shrimp in the shell. With the shrimp in shell I will soak it in Boyds vitamin and will make small incisions in the meat and stuff a few pellets in there. Some fall out during feeding but it manages to get a few down. Earthworms are great to keep on hand and with the movement it triggers puffer feeding. I also will feed small live crabs on occasion.
Been a little while now and need some updated pics so....
