| Posted | skinny porcupine puffer |
| 21-08-2006 19:10 by james brown |
hi,
My porcupine puffer will not eat any food in the tank. I have tried many different foods with no luck. He is getting very skinny now. Can anyone help? |
| 21-08-2006 19:16 by KOBISKYE |
what else is in the tank, i had one with my malawais and had the same problem, lfs suggested earthworms and it work, unfortunatley the dominant male malawai got the better of it |
| 21-08-2006 19:22 by james brown |
I'll try the earthworms.
I have a long horned cowfish,two clowns,a few damels and a regal. there has been no agression from any of the fish. Thank you |
| 21-08-2006 19:23 by james brown |
do you chop the earthworms up? |

my knowledge on puffers is very small. but dont they need to grind teeth down to be able to eat? lack of the right food to grind on leaves teeth too long? im probably well wrong there |
