Is it ok to feed my green spotted puffers (Elah & Eg) small meal worms....?

Question

i put 2 in the tank every day...they each eat half...they are buddy's...is it ok to feed that...i mean are they getting what they need

I did feed them about 10 little snails (5 each) and i was told to do that about once a week...in addtion to the meal worms i put little pinches of dried brine shrimp...2 worms and a pinch of B.S....and once week a couple snails....does that seem like a good diet?????

Answer 1

It's okay, but they do need more healthy food. Make sure to feed them something more crunchy to file their teeth. The pesty snails found on the live plants in the pet store aquariums are good food and good for their teeth. Plus, since they are pest my pet store gives them to me for free. My green spotted puffers love bloodworms which are sold frozen at any pet store. They also love the dried baby shrimp (sun dried gammarus), which I think I bought at Wal-Mart. They are picky eaters. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

in the event that they are no longer tiny they conveniently consume snails and nibble different fish so be carefull of this. As they grow old you will ought to make thier water further and extra brackish. The Tubiflex cubes are a robust nutrition for them. they are in a position to snatch it with thier beaks and gobblem down. Any sluggish sinking nutrition would be stable. Flakes do exactly no longer look meaty sufficient or sufficiently huge. bloodworms are additionally a robust selection.

Answer 3

Actually they need a bit more variety, live and frozen meaty foods, bloodworm, mosquito larvae, cockles and muscles, snails.
