Figure Eight Puffers Feeding Time
What do figure 8 puffer fish eat?
I use to feed my figure 8 sea monkeys, but i have to travel quite far to get them. So any alternative? Or how do i breed sea monkeys?

Can you put the tank lid on with Sea Monkeys?
I have the executive desk set. There is a hole on the top of the lid, which a sea monkey figure goes on top of. Can I keep both on? Don’t they need air?

Picked up my figure eight today…was watching some videos of them……….?
on You Tube . In these videos – I saw a puffer being hand fed a shrimp (like shrimp cocktail that we would eat). It made me curious and I thought I may try that out sometime – I love shrimp myself, so we could ‘share’ a plate. Anyone tried that or what other foods (that you can buy in a grocery store) can they eat: so far I plan to try frozen krill, frozen bloodworms, shrimp pellets, live snails, freeze dried brine shrimp and freeze dried tubifex worms. Any other suggestions? Also, when feeding frozen food to them, is it best to thaw first, like you normally would or drop in frozen so they can ‘tear at it’. Thanks for the help.
I have been setting up my tank for the past 2 months – and finally today I picked up my puffer (had to special order).

Figure Eight Puffer Not Eating/ Sickness?
My F8 puffer has been in his new brackish tank for a week now and has done fine so far. He will eat the small snails immediately as soon as I drop them in the tank. However, he does not seem to care for or eat much of the frozen brine shrimp that I put in as his main food source. Today I woke up and he has been very inactive(sitting in the plants or on the ground the majority of the time and only swimming every once and a while) He usually is very friendly to me and swims up to me as soon as he sees me and he has not been doing this today. I went out and bought frozen bloodworms today and put them in there a few minutes ago and he hasn’t done anything with them yet. Every once and a while it appears as though he coughs and his skin looks a little bumpier than it has previously. Does anyone have an idea of what is happening to him? Can anyone with personal Figure 8 puffer experience help me out?
