 | Feeding a dwarf puffer |
katieb Fish Addict Posts: 697 Votes: 69 Registered: 03-Jul-2004   | I know Dwarfs must be fed snails once a week to keep their beaks trimmed. And that their diet is live food. But at what frequencey do you guys feed live? Are there alternatives to live for these guys? I'll do graffiti, If you sing to me in French. |

| Fish Guy Mega Fish Posts: 1091 Kudos: 1254 Votes: 2 Registered: 28-Jan-2004 | I feed them once a day and there is already snails in the tank from the live plants so I'm not sure how often they eat them. |
