[AquaticLife] Puffer Fish
To thee_raven: I have a brackish tank set up for a puffer, red faced scat, and an accidently acquired hermit crab. Most of the information I got about puffers was online but, I also purchased “Brakish Water Fishes” edited by Neale Monks. It’s a great resource for brackish aquariums. Mine is currently a 10 gal. set up but once the scat grows a little more I’m moving them to a 50 gal. I have found my trio very adaptive to my learning curve though I would seriously tell you to WATCH out if you are using live snails for food. The puffers need them to keep their teeth trimmed but if you over feed you will have nitrite problems for sure. Also, they love blood worms and are easy to spoil. Both the puffer and the scat have gotten so they won’t eat anything that hits the substrate. I am in a retraining program now to try and keep me from overfeeding them Good luck. Puffers and scats are great fish with lots of personality. Deb Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
