Dwarf Puffers...

[Monte20]

they are quite young. id say 1/2 inch. had them for 2 days now. i havent seen them eat. dont seem stressed. they explore really good. but when i add food, they dont go near it. will they enjoy some ghost shrimp? or are they too young.

I'd say they're too young. I've never heard of dwarfs eating ghost shrimp, I've never even tried myself. I did hear that they would make good tankmates so they probably never eat them. Try live bloodworms or blackworms and also common aquarium snails, the little ones that everyone hates. If that doesn't work, you may have a problem on your hands, so try it right away.

no problem, and please let us know how this works out! maybe just update this thread O.K. We can still help if this doesn't work!

Mine will only eat frozen bloodworms or live foods....we allow common snails to multiply in a 5 gallon tank just for her!

What were you feeding before?! It's unusual to find DP's that won't eat.
