Oh, okie, I guess I got neither of the colors right then. Was hoping for a red specimen but nevertheless, whatever comes close is what works best =) Thanks for pointing out.

welcome. your puffer on the left looks good. personally i like brown congos best. they blend very well in sand.

keep them well, especially at this size, they tend be fragile when young. try to steer clear of feeder fish for now.

but some do get interactive. used to have one which pops from the sand when someone goes near the tank. that fella chases feeders too, rather than ambush. weird.

Haha, yes ! This white one is a chaser. Not an Ambusher like the Black and Red tones. I bred Guppies in my lily pot so I suppose they are fine ? I feed them Juvenile Ghost Shrimps too while the big one gets the bigger pieces and a Crayfish every 2 - 3 days. They are lovely pieces. Never thought I did see myself with so many of them.

Next on my list though is the Hairy Puffer thou it seems impossible to find one now =(

Self bred feeders are good. As long as you know the source and condition. Just be wary of crows coming to catch the guppies.

Crayfish once a week will be more than enough. Congo's teeth don't grow much.

Hairy puffers are available once or twice a year maybe? The really hairy ones are harder to find. Good luck in your search!
