[beaver8888]

i dunno i got a firgure 8 and a green spotted puffer in the same tank all they do is hang out at the top waiting for food 24/7 i threw in 1 big worm they tore it apart so i threw in 2 more then put in some blood worms and they ate those the greenspotted puffer whet to the bottem (finaly full) but i wounder if im over feeding? i know i am but i dunno if this is normal? the greenspotted puffer is about 3 inchs and the firgure 8 is about 1? what should i do? just let it happen?

I've seen a green puffer put down about 20 snails or so in a couple hours. He died.

a 3 inch puffer? thats pretty big, so maybe it needs more food

ive been feeding mine about 4 freeze dried shrimps twice a day. i started out with 5-6 but his belly bulged out alot so i cut it down to 4 a feeding. he seems to do okay, hes about 1 3/4 inches long. hes starting to bounce on the top of the water, like he wants to jump, when i go to put food in.


Q: how often should i feed him snails? (giving the population time to regenerate.) thank you!
