  • Shrimp for pea puffers

    Ok so I got 5 pea puffers the other day. What type of shrimp A. breed quickly and easily and B. adults are big enough that the puffers won't eat them. You can see where i am going with this. trying to offer a variety of food and reproducing shrimp seem to be a good idea.

      Roaches are exactly what I am looking for. Now then to see if anyone on here has some adults to toss in my 55 gallon tank with them.

        There's a ton of people on here that sell them. Usually for 50 cents each.

          +1 the puffers will eat them but if you let them build up a colony first, they will reproduce faster than they will get eaten

            Red Cherry Shrimp breed fast But your puffers will eat any shrimp they see. They wont care how big they are.

            it would be better to setup a small tank with some shrimp and some snails. you can feed the puffers out of it.

            I have a 20g shrimp tank and I am thinking about selling the hole setup.
