questions: how to autofeed my puffer?

Get a standard flake auto feeer, and set it up for the duration you will be gone......it will work fine



oh and stock up on 4 dozen ghost shrimp before you go too :)
keep them alive with food, and the puff should dwindle them down in a few days

seriously? think it would be fine if i just dump 48 Shrimps in there rite befoer i leave?
 
Sure, they'll only eat untill they're full. I must add again to always gut-load ghost shrimp, they're 95% (or more) water & not very nutricious alone. I would only use them as a supplement, still get a feeder.
 
Sure snails will work.. but mine eats snails like they are going out of style... i think he actuall over eats them...

its a bit harder fro them to catch the shrimp, so they might last longer.. a dozen shrimp cost usually a little over a dollar

As a daily diet, yes ghosties are a poor staple, but to help keep the fish alive for a little bit, it will do the trick

good luck :)
