h my goodness, I had to stop watching half way through. I know it is just nature ,but that's why I have to turn the Animal Planet Channel off so often.
*note to self -no puffers!
I can't watch mammals eating mammals or reptiles eating mammals.
It just makes me sick.
Fish eating fish or inverts doesn't bother me in any way as long as it's beneficial and not for fun.
I've tried my hardest to get this turd to eat snails but it won't eat them and if it does a snail it eats what little flesh it can grab and doesn't attack the shell and munch it down like I need it to
do. I need to avoid having to tranquilize the puffer to perform a little dental procedure.
So for the time being the hard shelled crayfish who I fatten up and QT for a month each time I buy a new bunch are the only hard foods it will accept and eat properly. it's not cheap as well last time I had to buy some super red lobster/crayfish that were going for 19.99 each I'm lucky the manager of the store knows me and knows these are not going to be resold so I payed cost and it was close to $5 a pop. Turds eats richer than I do lol
I'll tell you this once I bought a puffer when I was 15 ( Miurus puffer ) it died 6 years later. Since then I've never not owned a puffer.
They are fascinating fish with great personality. They are also extremely abused in our hobby.
