I got puffers on pellets...

NotFishyFishGuy · Nov 21, 2019

Hey guys just thought this would be cool to share. As many of you know, I have 3 amazon puffers in my 60 gallon freshwater tank. The tank is a community tank with lots of different fish. ive got swordtails, Cory cats, Siamese and golden algae eaters, gourami, a female betta, mollies, kuhli loaches, and recently, even a mudskipper. I noticed my puffers started to take pellets for a few weeks now. i think i have figured out the trick. They watched all my other fish take dry foods and frozen and they used to only take frozen. I think they started taking pellets after they saw the other fish take pellets and be okay. Now, they completely fill themselves up with the pellets. For their health, I still feed frozen a few times a week, but this has made my life a lot easier. hope everyone can get their puffers on pellets one day :)

Do they need to grind their teeth down? Not sure how it works with them.

Yes, they’re teeth grow pretty fast. Ive got 2 that are fine for now, but one of them has pretty long teeth, though he usually just grinds it down with clams that i feed or snails.
