fahaka food

[yshurtleff]

My fahaka is doing great thanks for all the help( see my other post) but the only thing he'll eat are ghost shrimp..well and maybe a tail or too from the feeder fish..any suggs...from all you fahaka people out there...he is only about one and a half inchs...:)

[Pufferpunk]

What else have you offered him? Mine loves cut up earthworms, people shrimp, scallops, crablegs, oysters, clams, mussels, krill & plankton.

Good list PP - agree.

[yshurtleff]

great ideas the only problem is he ignores anything that isnt moving..besides snails...

[Pufferpunk]

Try sstabbing the food with a feeder stick (you can get one at your lfs) & move it aropungd the tank by the fish & see if he grabs it. Worms move & are a good source of protein.

I will give it a try and by the way pufferpunk thanks for the melifix idea your right it really works :)

You forgot one of my, and my puffers favorites.
Small crawfish.
Yummy

I buy dead crawfish at the grocery. I just don't have the heart to feed my puffers live crabs. I feel too sorry for them. :(

the only crawfish at my local store are already covered in cajun seasoning which i dont think he'd enjoy. mine has also eaten small frogs. ever seen $2.99 dissappear in one bite? its one of those forehead slapping moments when you realise you put something in the wrong tank.
