jus got 3 dwarf puffers.

Bloodworms, brine shrimp and pond snails. You'll need to breed the snails so they will have a steady supply. They need the shells to keep their teeth worn down. Go to the DP website.

Glass shrimp get a little over an inch I think.

And are you sure DP's need snails? I've read that DP's don't live long enough to really be impacted negatively by lack of snails.
And my DP's don't get the crickets, my big puffer does. I want to try feeding them crickets though. I'm going to try to feed them some shrimp right now.
 
oh i see... well is there any other big shrimp that i can get?? and how long do dp live anyways?? liz: how big ur ur puffer that u feed it crickets??ok, feed them a shrimp right now
 
be careful what you put in with puffers...had two a while ago that i took back because pet store failed to tell me they were very aggressive fish. one of them pecked an eye out of an angelfish that i also had in the tank.
 
haha im sorry. kinda funny, but i liek aggressive fish. but i will jus keep the puffers together... but i had 3.. but now i only can find one.. where did the other 2 go?? did my biggest one eat them u think or wat.. god ****. lol
 
Not funny :) You should of seen the poor fish. Kept it alive for days with no eye...... poor thing.... yes the big one probably did eat the other ones... not funny anymore is it!!!!! :) :) :) :)
 
What kind of filter do you have?
I've heard of them getting sucked into the filter.

My puffer I feed the crickets to is around two or two and a half inches. And I think DP's live around a year or two. They're pretty shortlived.
 
wow.. maybe it got sucked up.. but i dont know.. haha that sucks.. its gone tho.. well dw puffers only get 1 inch so yeah. and that is a short time they live. lol. one year. ahha thats so sad. my piranhas will live atleats 10 years. lol =)
