b_ball34 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 After waiting a few months for him to come into my LFS I finally got my amazon puffer. He is doing well but he's way too small to eat snails right now 1-1/2". His main food right now has been daphnia which he loves to hunt for. Any ideas what I should I should to try and feed to wear down his teeth till he grows up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shkote Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 If you can get your hands on some mini Ramshorns, they make great puffer food for small puffers. Mine still prefers the tiny ones over larger snails, it just takes a lot more with him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanTruth Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I would throw in some bladder snails. Once they start reproducing he will pick off snail sizes of his choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shkote Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 You may still end up having to trim his teeth down the road, so be prepared for that. They grow crazy fast and crunching snails doesn't always keep them trimmed the way it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
