    Hey I found this place off of craigslist. I'm Tracy. I have a 20 gal brackish tank. Which houses my 2 inch green puffer Liam. I used to have more but he either ate them or they just died. I used to have fish like 10 years ago but after adopting out my red eared slidder i decided to get into fish since they would be easier. I love Liam but he's quite difficult to feed, I just put sand in his tank and still hasn't settled in. And I still haven't found anything hard for him to eat since petco didn't have any snails small enough for him to eat so i'm a little worried. But yea thats about it about my fish.

    Glad you found us. SpockThePuffer should be able to help you as far as feeding goes.
    How long have you had him ?

    Thanks i've had him for about 2 weeks now. At first it was nearly impossible to get him to eat espically not knowing one thing about this fish until he ate one of my old gourami's. So then after some research i got him some frozen foods that he didn't even touch. And all he would eat was ghost shrimp. So i went back down to the place where i got him and they suggested plankton and bloodworms which he loves both. But i still need the hard food for his teeth, but otherwise he's a pretty fun fish and really cute.

    Welcome, what state are you from? There is an Orange County in VA so that is why I ask. For that matter there is an Orange county in every state I think.

    Hey! :) Good luck with your puffer...I've always wanted one, and I'm sure eventually I will have one.

    I take it you like horses? Do you own one? I have a 5-year-old Paso Fino. :)

    Welcome to the forum!!

    no asfar as the puffer look for some live plants at the fish store, lok at where they have the plants in the tank if yo see snail then its a good possibality they they will hitchhike on the plant to your aquarium and bam about 2 weeks instant puffer food but till then dont have any ideas for ya.
