This puffer is call a Freshwater puffer, but it is actually a Brackish water fish. that means he likes a tank that is 1/2 and 1/2. It is a fresh- water tank with a little salt water. But not as salty as the Salt water tanks. Puffers like a varyity food. It is best to provide them with "crunchy" foods such as shrimp in shell, snails, and other shellfish in shell. This will help to keep their teeth ground down. Otherwise, the puffer's teeth will grow until it cannot eat, and will need to be filed down. And that is not an easy job to do for you OR your veterinarian! But they also need live food too. |
