As the title says I’m getting blue spotted puffer. Picking him up from a local reefer and I need all the advice I can get.
Guy told me he has been in a tank with at least A soft coral. So that gives me some hope. I hope a varied diet in my tank will also help keep him from eating things he shouldn’t.
My current set up is 75 gallon tank with a tomini tang a yellow wrasse and a mandarin dragonet
I know he may eat my snails and my hermits and I am ok with this (I don’t like the hermits anywAy!)
I found out the guy was only feeding him dried krill and flake food (poor fishie!)
I currently feed LRS frozen
I know this guy needs shelled things to keep his teeth from growing to much. I’d like to provide him with snails and other things. Can I just put ghost shrimp in my DT? Will they survive long enough to be eaten by my new puffer?
What snails can I buy and he will eat? Just any small snails?
My only previous experience with puffers was years ago when I had a brackish leopard puffer and I use to get all the snails I could from local fish stores (all those pesky freshwater snails no one wants but my puffer ate!)
I want him to be happy and healthy! (And leave my corals alone!)
