spotted green pufferfish?

[luvlee11]

I have a few quetions about spotted green pufferfish, I'm getting one tomarrow. What do spotted green pufferfish eat? Can they be with bumblebee gobies? ( like I read ). Can they be changed to eating regular fish flake food? I just don't know the answers and I feel I could trust these answers off Fishlore WAY better then to look them up on an unknown website or something. all answers would be appreciated! x

No on the bumblebees, and no on the fish flakes...

They eat any frozen carnivore food really... brine shrimp, bloodworms, mysis, krill, etc etc, the more kinds the better, and then live snails and shrimps...

Do you know the price of brine shrimp?

for a frozen pack about 2-3 pounds. they also need snails in there diet as there beak is always growing. maybe you should do some more research into them before rushing out and buying one? what tank are you putting it in? by itself? pinkfloyd is certainly the person to talk to about puffers they told me most of what I no! you also realise this fish is brackish not freshwater (to my knowledge)?

take a look at this link

Here is a great link about them. GSP are a high manitance fish. I would def. make sure that's what you really want. They also require a big tank.
