Hey guys I'm new to this website and i was wondering if anyone could help me. I have 4 dwarf puffers and 1 female red eye and 1 male (Carinotetraodon irrubesco). Also i have 5 pygmy corys and some weird guppies that my dad bought. My puffers arent going after any of them!!!! i wanted aggressive fish that would eat the other fish. The guy at the fish store said they were so i dont know whats going on.....

Any Advice???​
 
Those poor corys and guppies.
 
lol the corys are fine, and the guppies are feeder fish i got 7 of them for $.50 and i want the puffers to get em! Also im getting bigger corys on monday so they'll be bigger than the dwarfs. but arent dwarf puffers supposed to be aggressive?
 
Feeder fish are not part of a puffer's diet. Puffers are generally aggressive fin nippers, but they aren't going to eat fish to my knowledge. Do some research. Your puffers will need to eat snails.
 
I'm feeding them snails and bloodworms. But I'm just wondering why they aren't going after any of the other fish they're just chasing each other around.
 
go to petsmart and ADOPT nusence snails, they give you it for free
 
Want something that'll eat fish?
You can have my Oscar....the nasty little thing. ;)

He gets mad and starts to pout if I don't give 'em anything live to eat.
 
They arent dwarf red eyes they're Dwarf puffer (aka Pea Puffers, Pygmy Puffers, Blue Eyed Puffers) lol im just trying to find out is there something wrong with my fish because the guy at the fish store said they should be going after the guppies. And its a specialty fish store, I mean the guy really knows his stuff.

I beg to differ.

The search was "dwarf red eye" to catch more results.
