Leo2o915 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Can I feed it freeze dried blood worms ? Or is the frozen the only one they will eat I tried feeding him brine shrimp and he didn’t go for it so I am thinking he is either eating snails or the detritus worms in my tank ? Ur thoughts and advice ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 You could try the freeze dried bloodworms, they may go after them. But, if they don't but they eat frozen ones, you can thaw a cube of bloodworms and use the juices from that to soak the freeze dried in and they will absorb it to help with the smell and hopefully get the puffers to go after them.

FrozenFins Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Would agree with @Andy's Fish Dentry frozen blood worms, but other options are small snails, live black worms, live shrimps. Your best and cheapest bet is too start breeding snails (they breed like crazy) in one of your tanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RovingGinger Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Give it a week and you’ll start seeing little piles of empty baby snail shell evidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrozenFins Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 The dwarf chain loaches may also be eating the babies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsten Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Wow I'm surprised there are any snails left with loaches plus a puffer! Good on those ramshorns for keeping everyone fed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
